Key messages from the Abercynon delegates:
- Organisations have many of the same issues, but speak a different language. Don’t be afraid to say ‘I don’t understand’.
- Delegates identified the need for more effective systems and protocols which support the sharing of information are essential to a lot of partnership working.
- A joint initiative between Health and Local Government is developing a Health and Social Care workforce which has a common foundation and will be the basis of a joined up workforce for the future.
- Delegates identified that consultation with citizens on how they would like to be consulted should help to reduce overlap and reduce the consultation burden upon them.
|
- The outputs of the seminar have been summarised here. The key messages that the delegates raised will be considered alongside the outputs of the other seminars over the coming month.
