The work will focus on driving the personalisation agenda forward and enabling the successful implementation of choice in health and social care, including 100% uptake of personal budgets in social care, as well as innovation and efficiency.  A key element will also involve market development - building on existing networks to set out the implications for the transition for the independent and voluntary sector that are working to support independence and choice at home.

Head of operations, Martin Routledge will lead the work which starts now and runs until next summer, alongside Carey Bamber, former Personalisation Programme Manager for the North West Joint Improvement Partnership (JIP).

An exciting element of the programme is that it will build bridges beyond adult social care - linking with personalisation initiatives relating to children, health and the Right to Control programme and will look to support and influence wider community-based policy and practice.

For more information about this programme of work, please contact Carey Bamber at careybamber@live.com or on 07968 031 085.

The recently formed North West Transition Alliance is working to support regional activity by providing leadership and practical support and facilitating the transition to sector-led improvement arrangements.
