Sunderland All Together Better Alliance - Information and engagement event

North of England Commissioning Support (NECS) are working for and on behalf of Sunderland CCG, as a member of the Sunderland All Together Better Alliance (ATBA). ATBA wish to hold an information and engagement event to share information about the Alliance and what this might mean to organisations. Since May 2013 SCCG have been working towards delivering a vision for the future of out-of-hospital care with the aim of promoting health and wellbeing, delivering quality care for patients and carers, and ensuring sustainability of the system. As a 'Vanguard' site we had an opportunity to develop and implement our out-of-hospital care model under the All Together Better (ATB) Sunderland programme making major progress and achieving significant success. As the programme ended in 2018 the CCG made the decision to enhance the care model and secure it for the longer term. The aim is to have an effective alliance in place by April 2019 to achieve the outcomes in the CCGs Prospectus, which was published in final form in February 2018. Since March 2018 commissioners (both health and care) and providers have worked collaboratively to develop the alliance approach for Sunderland, with the alliance formally known as the All Together Better Alliance (ATBA). The development and implementation of formal alliance arrangements has been overseen by a Shadow Board with extensive engagement from stakeholders and providers in Sunderland. This engagement included an event on the 05 J...or the overall integrated delivery, performance outcomes and general oversight of community services (i.e. the out-of- hospital programme). It is a formally constituted group with responsibility; - to lead the strategic development of the alliance, - to oversee transformation programmes, - at all times ensuring engagement and transparency in decision making. The ATBA Executive group is chaired by Dr Martin Weatherhead (GP) with day-to-day operational duties overseen by the managing director, Philip Foster. ATBA would like to invite you to an information and engagement event to hear about its progress since June 2018 and how we can work together to deliver the vision for out of hospital care in Sunderland. The event will take place from 5:15pm to 7:00pm (with a 5:30pm start) on Wednesday the 20 March 2019, in the Montgomery Suite at the Stadium of Light, Sunderland.
