Across the Northumberland and North Tyneside footprint, we have 10 primary care networks with aligned community nursing teams. The aim of these teams is to improve outcomes for people and maximize access to services through integrated working. The teams aim to maintain people within their own homes/communities wherever possible and facilitate earlier discharge from hospital by delivering a more coordinated approach to care. Examples of this approach include close working with secondary care providers to develop virtual wards and supported discharge initiatives.
By working in a more integrated way, the teams aim to reduce duplication and waste by streamlining processes and maximizing the use of resources available at a PCN level. The teams are wrapped around GP practice populations and are supported by robust clinical and operational leadership and management. The overarching philosophy and approach places the individual at the centre and proactively maximizes opportunities for people to have choice, personalization and self-management.
To role model a compassionate and inclusive leadership style which (a) engages, enables and empowers others (b) uses coaching to promote ownership of learning and quality improvement and (c) facilitates team working and collaboration within teams/departments and across organisational boundaries.
