Driving Change: Workshop Explores Shifting Hospital Services into Community Settings
Community 1st sponsored a workshop event this week, hosting strategic leaders from the Greater Manchester Integrated Care System, who gathered to talk about how best to shift acute services from traditional hospital settings into community locations.
Community 1st is a long-term partner of the local NHS. Established in 2004, we operate six ‘core’ healthcare assets across Oldham in accessible community locations.
Delivered through the LIFT model, even years later, these facilities remain fit for purpose, with no backlog maintenance issues and inherently flexible building designs that allow them to adapt to changing health service needs over time.
The day was led by Dr Mohan Kumar, Clinical System Lead for Estates (GMICS), alongside CHP NW Regional Director Jeanette Leach and National Strategic Productivity Partner Mike Simpson and was highly productive for all involved.
Jonathan Keegan, Community 1st General Manager, said, ‘This event was a fantastic opportunity to bring together leaders across the local health economy. There was a lot of discussion around plans for how more health services can be shifted into these core facilities in Oldham. We look forward to working together to support these impactful projects.’
Kate Edwards MIWFM, Health Development Director, said, ‘With over 20 years of successful partnership working with the NHS, we are keen to demonstrate how the LIFT model and facilities can adapt to changing service needs, ensuring our partners’ strategic aims in the upcoming NHS 10-year plan can be met.’
