Clinical Priorities

From previous discussion with GP practices, reviews of public health data and engagement with partners and providers, there are eight clinical priorities in our area:

To promote self care
To ensure high quality local services
To improve the health of those most in need
To improve health and educational attainment for children and young people
To improve access to mental health services
To improve outcomes for patients with diabetes to above national averages
To improve care for frail elderly individuals
To allow patients to die with dignity and compassion and to choose their place of death where appropriate

To deliver all of our clinical priorities listed above we have implemented our QIPP Plan, read our QIPP Plan in full or QIPP Summary to find out more.

What is QIPP?

Working across our GP practices, the mental health trust, community service and Suffolk County Council, we have a plan to make financial savings while maintaining quality of care and services. This is called QIPP in the NHS, which stands for Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention.
