Our new way of workingAs Directors of Public Health for Cheshire &Merseyside, we are committed to working inthe best way possible to achieve better healthoutcomes. We are very proud of our nationallyrecognised collaborative way of working whichbrings great benefits for all.Duncan Selbie, Chief Executive at Public HealthEngland (PHE) attended the Champs Public HealthCollaborative Directors of Public Health meeting inMay 2015 and said following his visit that Cheshire& Merseyside were the “most organised” Collaborativewith a “strong track record”.We would like to thank everyone who has contributedto collaborative projects over the past two years,there are some great achievements. We are workingwith financial challenges but we must keep ourfocus on what we need to do to create healthiercommunities.The model for collaborative working through Champs,which operated for two years following the transitionof public health into local government, was reviewedby us as an Executive Board earlier this year alongsidethe stakeholder feedback from an evaluation withlocal teams by Liverpool John Moores University.A focus group with public health teams and a seriesof one to one discussions also informed our thinking.Following this feedback, the purpose of thenew Champs Public Health Collaborative is to:• Improve local health and wellbeingoutcomes by collective strategic action• Enable and deliver strong public healthsystem leadership• Promote effective and innovative publichealth interventions and the use of thelatest evidence base• Facilitate shared learning expertise andpeer support• Collectively commission cost-effectivesub-regional public health programmesand interventions5The future Champs Public Health Collaborative isnow an outcome focused model and will deliver asmaller number of local priorities, shown later on inthis business plan. These have been agreed by us inpartnership with Public Health England North West andNHS England Cheshire & Merseyside. The priorities aremental health and wellbeing for children and youngpeople, suicide prevention and high blood pressurewith a fourth priority to be considered later on thisyear on health and regeneration. These priorities wereidentified through a detailed prioritisation exerciseby the Champs health care leads group and PHE/NHS England as the most suitable for collaborativeaction and common to all nine Cheshire & Merseysidelocal authorities. The priorities replace the previouscomponents and workstreams model which covered allthree domains of public health. Champs Public HealthCollaborative is no longer a “service” with the moveaway from its broader work across the three domainsof public health and onto key priorities.The existing cross cutting themes including facilitatingcollective action, CPD and events, intelligence,communications and sector led improvement willcontinue to support the new priorities.Collaborative commissioning, where it makes senseto do so, will continue as will the commissioning of anumber of population wide programmes for example,the regional alcohol and tobacco programmes.A high level expert health protection strategy groupensures a safe and resilient system and supports localauthorities in their quality assurance role.A leaner, more agile and flexible Champs supportteam leads, facilitates and enables the delivery ofthe priorities with local teams and partners.Each local authority has a ‘Collaborative Link’ whofacilitates the two way communication betweentheir local teams and the wider collaborative.In addition, a new methodology will be developedto measure impact and cost savings for each priorityarea with the aim of really shifting local outcomes andmaking a tangible difference to our local communities.We are confident this new way of working will addvalue to our local work, share resources and enable usto have a greater impact on these important collectivepublic health issues.We are looking forward to working with our teams,partners and all our stakeholders to achieve our visionof a thriving and healthy Cheshire & Merseyside.
