SUPPORTING A HEALTHCARE PARTNERSHIP’S INFRASTRUCTURE STRATEGY
DATE: 2024 | LOCATION: SOUTH-EAST ENGLAND | PROJECT AREA: STRATEGIC ADVICE | PROJECT STATUS: COMPLETED
We have been working as a specialist estates partner to health and service planning consultancy business, Attain, to support a Health and Care Partnership (HCP) in development of their local infrastructure strategy.
Throughout the process, our strategic specialists combined data-driven decision-making, and extensive stakeholder engagement to deliver a tailored infrastructure strategy that aligned with the HCP’s overall service goals and objectives.
The challenge
The key role for the HCP is to develop and oversee local (place-based) delivery strategies and plans that support system-wide priorities and enable delivery of local needs/priorities.
The estates and infrastructure strategy aims to bring together partners across the health and social care system to drive the integration of community, primary and social care services at a local level.
Our specialist team utilised a comprehensive approach that focused on identifying key objectives for the HCP, to ensure the strategy addressed local priorities and areas of concern as well as providing a clear outline on how the estate and infrastructure could be transformed to sustainably deliver services in the future.
The solution
Our strategic specialists combined data-driven decision-making and extensive stakeholder engagement to deliver a tailored infrastructure strategy that aligned with the HCP’s overall service goals and objectives. Through in-depth analysis and collaboration, we identified key objectives which formed the basis of the strategy, focused around two key themes; estate optimisation, making best use of the estate we have, and working in collaboration, ensuring partners are all working to the same common goals and utilising public sector resources effectively. This framework not only helped to identify immediate needs but also provided a roadmap for future pipeline development, ensuring the HCP’s long-term sustainability and success.
The result
By integrating the objectives into the decision-making framework, the HCP will be able to ensure that future estate planning is aligned with regional healthcare goals, and is adaptable, cost-effective, and community based, creating a robust foundation for a sustainable healthcare infrastructure.
This also provided the local system with a tool which has helped establish appropriate levels of governance for all stakeholders in the HCP, to jointly discuss and prioritise their resources on the schemes most in need.
We also developed a series of recommendations around how the HCP can develop their infrastructure strategy to proactively reduce their risk profile and best use the collective resource across the system.
