Messages from Christie Report
The workforce must be able to provide effective services and support that are designed with and for people and communities and not delivered top down for administrative convenience

Views of people who use services
 IRISS: Service Users and Carers are not concerned with the Integration of Health and Social Care as such
 National Voices: People want co-ordination, not necessarily integration
 SCIE: Outcomes as defined by people who use services may differ from policy and practice imperatives and are a crucial aspect of understanding the effectiveness of integrated services

Engaging the Workforce in Service
Development
The most important learning happens at the front line where staff and service users interact. The role of management is to value and support front line staff by listening and responding to what they say needs to change.
Seddon (2008)

Challenges / Opportunities
• Affirm Social Services values and identity, promoting a collective social responsibility within an
Integrated service
• Enable respectful, meaningful co-production with people and communities to establish what matters at local level
• Develop models of participative leadership, vertical as well as horizontal integration

What does it take to achieve this?

Shared vision - centrality of better outcomes for those who use services and their carers
Mutual willingness to change and compromise
Contribution over attribution
Workforce identity defined by what we are trying to achieve rather than by who we are
Organisational identity defined within wider system

Integrated Health and Social Care service to look like?
• What three things will need to change / strengthen between now and then to enable this to be achieved?
