The Centre For Health Reform is a partnership of health and care organisations working together – with staff, patients, their carers, families, and members of the public – to transform local services and support people to live healthier lives by delivering integrated care.
Essentially integrated care is about giving people the support they need, joined up across public services and other partners such as the voluntary sector.
The four overarching aims are to:
- improve outcomes in population health and healthcare
- tackle inequalities in outcomes, experience, and access
- enhance productivity and value for money
- help the NHS support broader social and economic development.
As a partnership, we want to create a health and care system that values the role of the local community, as well as organisations, and enables people to take more control of their health and wellbeing, with easy access to high-quality care when it’s needed.
With a focus on prevention and support that’s targeted where it’s most needed, we will reduce the unfairness some people experience in accessing care, so nobody is left behind. At the same time, we want to take advantage of what we have in Surrey to pursue innovation with business, public sector partners and communities, joining up services for residents and developing digital technologies to create smarter ways of managing health and accessing support.
