Transforming Workforce in Partnership to Achieve Integrated Care

In 2011 East Cheshire NHS Trust, together with Eastern Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group (ECCCG), Cheshire & Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and Cheshire East Council formed a partnership to facilitate integrated care for the population of East Cheshire.The Eastern Cheshire ‘Transforming Workforce in Partnership’ (TWIP) project now forms the initial work programme of the over arching Leadership, OD & Workforce workstream of the integrated care programme. It has a clear focus on the transformational changes to the workforce needed to bring about integrated care, and aims to influence the hearts and minds of the local workforce in order to support whole system change, rather than focusing on changing just one area of service delivery.
