Challenges we faced • Agreement on clinical pathway – Differing clinical views – Differing views between clinicians and commissioners – Different approaches in primary and secondary care – Patient voice? • Lack of alignment between organisations • Lack of funding, yet significant operational pressures • Lack of enforcement levers
Key ingredients of success • Clinical “endorsement” of pathway • Senior level sponsorship in each organisation to ensure prioritisation • Creating headspace in operational pressure (eg funding) • Clinical leadership on the ground • Multidisciplinary team working • Patient engagement • Celebrating success
How your alliance can help • Opportunity to gain senior level buy-in • Neutral arbitrator of disagreements • Funding source (but there will be a quid pro quo) • New vehicle creates opportunities for new types of engagement • Access national learning and resources • Source of transformation expertise and change management skills
