Salford's Health Investment for Tomorrow
5 Projects that are changing the face of health services in Salford
Project Achievements
Workforce planning in the Salford Children’s Project - focusing on the establishment of new services for the area, replacing and enhancing those less complex services currently provided by the tertiary Children’s Hospital, as part of the Central Manchester and Manchester Children’s Hospital Trust.
- Workforce planning for the various change management projects within the Service Change Management and Delivery Project. Some of these projects require the development of new types of roles and any training implications of such developments requires effective collaboration and planning with local academic institutions.
- Introducing new inter-organisational employment policies to support and enable staff to work effectively across organisations. The principle benefit of this will be to ensure that patients, who access a range of health and social care services, will have delays and misunderstandings minimised.
- Ensuring the scope of change being experienced by staff in the NHS and particularly within Salford, is recognised and planned for within the partner organisations. Whilst the SHIFT partner organisations continue to develop their local organisational development initiatives, the Workforce and Education Project Board maintain an overview and seek to develop an integrated approach to leadership skills for the change agenda.
- Acknowledgement that as Teaching Trusts, both Salford PCT and SRFT have responsibilities to maintain their respective academic and research agendas. Formal integration of the Teaching and Research Directorates has taken place, providing opportunities for developing new approaches in a more integrated health and social care system.
The scope of work within the Workforce and Education Project will continue to develop in line with the wider SHIFT Programme.
