Calderstones Partnership NHS Foundation Trust 13 Yearbook 2014 - 2015
The Trust has devised a workforce and organisational development strategy which is supported by a range of activity. This works in a complementary way to other key Trust strategies and supports our Policies and Procedures. It ensures that our people are best placed to deliver high clinical quality of services and that they can deliver the very best experience for those that use our services.
The Trust has set out its Workforce & Organisational Development Strategy for 2015-2017. This strategy describes our intent to ensure that our workforce support our vision and we have a continued commitment to deliver high quality, person-centred services to people with learning disabilities with complex and challenging needs. For those that require care in a secure environment the level of security is based on the least restrictive principle, commensurate with the degree of risk to the service user, staff and public. This is in line with the Department of Health Positive & Safe Workforce.
The Workforce & Organisational Development Strategy has a number of drivers which include the people who use the service, their families and carers, our people, our partners and commissioners as well as the NHS Constitution, Department of Health, Health and Social Care Act 2012; statutory requirements; Liberating the NHS, Keogh Review, Francis Inquiry, Berwick, Cavendish, Improving Health & Lives Disabilities Programme - Norman Lamb, Rehabilitation & Resettlement of Offender - Chris Grayling, commissioning arrangements, NICE, CQC and Monitor.
This is not an exhaustive list however it identifies that the Trust has a several internal and external drivers that have given our strategy a
purpose. There are also drivers
such as organisational restructuring, partnership working, financial pressures, models of care and commissioning arrangements,
an ageing workforce and the national issue of recruiting into nursing.
We are committed to responding as necessary and changing our approach if it ensures that our staff and those that we care for require us to do
something differently.
