Beyond 2024
To prepare for 2024 and beyond we are:
- developing a new prioritisation policy
- developing a financial allocation policy, based on the eight local authority areas of Derby and Derbyshire
- analysing what our future workforce needs are
- working to ensure that all teams receive the data they need to plan future patient care
Additionally, we will:
- develop our relationship with the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector, involving them more in our planning and delivery
- bring on stream a number of new and refurbished spaces that are currently under construction, for people who have severe mental illness
- improve the way we use research
- expand the use of the Derbyshire Shared Care Record to include hospices, care homes, community pharmacies and other commissioned health and social care providers
- implement digital patient record systems in our acute hospitals and among social care providers
- develop our approach to recruiting people to our workforce, so they can be work across they system in the place where their skills fit best
- adopting a single Derby and Derbyshire approach to skills development, leadership, sharing of resources and facilitating movement between employers
- support training and development of a range of medical and non-medical roles
- prioritise development and training that will enable more personalised care, better use of data and which will support greater equality, diversity and inclusion
Our Derby and Derbyshire NHS has a local plan to reduce carbon emissions. This is focusing initially on:
- using asthma inhalers that are not harmful in the way they produce carbon dioxide
- changing the use of anaesthetics that are harmful to the environment
- providing and encouraging travel options that reduce use of carbon-producing vehicles
- using data on carbon emissions to support better decision-making
How we will monitor this plan
We will use our joint NHS Derby and Derbyshire boards to monitor and manage progress on this plan.
Our boards include:
- Integrated Care Board
- Provider Collaborative Board – which brings together trusts and other providers
- Integrated Place Executive – which brings together our local integrated teams
