Why? Improving services for the communities we serve Small organisations unsustainable into the future Cross fertilisation between physical and mental health services Mental Health input into Long Term Conditions Physical Health input into inpatient and community mental health services Foundation Trust with strong governance and performance regime Experience in moving services out of hospital and into the community
Challenges How to continue to improve the patient experience and patient outcomes in an increasingly challenging financial environment Local Funding cuts within the local health and social care economy Acute sector (hospitals) Change from PCT to GP commissioning National NHS reform and policy Regulation and compliance
Potential future developments Outer North East London Community Services Essex Children’s Centres Urgent Care Centres Academic partnerships Research & Development Healthcare integration
