Our Operating Model and Regional Delivery Plans
Activities in this plan deliver our objectives through national strategies and programmes and regional delivery. Regional Delivery Plans (RDP) show how this plan and METIP will be delivered locally with partners and coordinate with national programmes.
They show the golden thread that connects our objectives with responding to ICS needs, balancing national and local priorities. Most HEE colleagues work with local health, care and education partners in our seven regions. A key focus is supporting the new statutory Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) and Integrated Care Partnerships (ICPs) as they take shape and outline priorities.
HEE’s role with these new bodies supports integrated planning, transformation and place and system level quality. Regional clinical leaders will be key to delivering our objectives around workforce growth and education and training reform whilst building mutually supportive relationships with ICB colleagues.
Some regional variation can be expected in how these objectives are delivery locally, recognising each region’s unique geography, population and culture. Local objectives agreed with partners will also be reflected in RDPs.
In response to the creation of the new statutory bodies, HEE will change and adapt through our Operating Model how we work. Its sets how regions leading collaborative relationships with ICSs will be our default approach to local delivery. It ensures HEE can help ICSs plan and deliver joined up services and improve population health. It is also designed to enable ICSs to collaborate with HEE to deliver our duties around workforce supply and education and training quality.
HEE regions will continue our direct contractual partnerships with providers and universities. Our ICS-aligned workforce transformation teams will also support ICS priorities to maximise our collective impact on workforce challenges.
