Nottingham CityCare has launched it's Clinical and Quality Strategy – a bold and ambitious plan that sets out how we will continue to transform the way we deliver care over the next five years.
Despite significant effort to date, including close working with our system partners, demand continues to rise and health inequalities across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire remain a challenge. This strategy responds directly to that reality, setting a clear direction of travel for how we improve quality, safety and outcomes for the people and communities we serve.
As one of CityCare’s enabling strategies, the Clinical and Quality Strategy supports the delivery of our overarching five year strategy Driving excellence in neighbourhood health. It sets out how we will deliver more care closer to home, improve outcomes, and support people to live better, more fulfilling lives – while ensuring that quality and safety remain central to everything we do.
This strategy sets out the main ways in which we will transform the way we deliver care over the next 5years, delivering care closer to home with our commitment to improve outcomes whilst supporting people to live better, more fulfilling lives.
This strategy aligns to the evolving NHSE quality strategy and the 10-Year Plan, with learning from recent reviews (Darzi and DASH), emphasising the need for:
-
Quality as an organising principle across health providers and systems
-
Assurance that quality governance, patient safety, and engagement are embedded into all aspects of care delivery
We are keen that this strategy does not sit on a shelf – we want it to provide our direction of travel, to achieve our ambition of delivering care that is adaptable & resilient, equitable, co-produced and focused on improvement and outcomes.
