Gweithio i'n sefydliad
Together, we have an ambitious vision for improving health and care services across Surrey and Sussex. We are working to:
§ Improve health and care outcomes for everyone, with a focus on preventing ill health and proactive care.
§ Tackle inequalities to reduce unfair gaps in access, experience, and outcomes.
§ Get better value from our services by enhancing productivity and value for money.
§ Support local communities to grow and thrive through social and economic development.
We also work with NHS trusts and organisations which deliver healthcare services through developing Provider Collaboratives to improve healthcare pathways, so local people experience better care and outcomes.
To achieve this, we need a team of people who can think beyond organisational boundaries, strong collaborators who can navigate complexity, challenge constructively, and keep communities at the centre of decisions.
The personal attributes of everyone who works in, or joins the ICB, are:
§ Empathy and listening skills: essential for understanding diverse community needs.
§ Resilience: integrated care is complex and politically sensitive.
§ Openness to innovation: willingness to rethink traditional models of care.
§ Commitment to co‑production: working with communities, not doing things to them.
