Abercynon
  • The Abercynon Valleys Innovation Centre seminar was the fourth of the six held across Wales with 12 leaders from Welsh Public Service. Details can be accessed here.
  • A summary of the Wales Audit Office key findings presented by Chief Operating Officer Anthony Snow can be accessed here.
  • Chrissie Hayes the Acting Chief Executive of the Caerphilly Teaching Local Health Board shared details of how they are addressing the challenges of Making the Connections. This included a number of examples such as a joint Social Care Resource Centre being developed in partnership with the NHS Trust and the Local Authority and Health and Social Care workforce development arrangements with Local Authorities. These examples are currently being developed into case studies for the shared learning forum.

 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.
  • If you wish to comment upon the key messages, make more general comments or add a point of clarity I would be very pleased to hear from you. Please contact me via email at, anthony.snow@wao.gov.uk.
