Review of Health and Social Care in Northern Ireland

Transforming your Care is the new five year vision of health and social care across Northern Ireland. This has come along following the document Reshaping the System (2010, Mc Kinsey) which paved the way and looked at  the delivery of high quality, cost effective health and social care services for Northern Ireland in the coming years taking account of the likely reduced funding levels.

The Allied Health Professions Strategy

The AHP Strategy is expected to be launched at the end of February 2012. Its aim is to provide a high level road map for the Allied Health Professions for the next 5 years.  It focuses on the roles and responsibilities of the AHP workforce at all levels and how these can be developed to enhance the planning and delivery of AHP practices that support the health and social well-being of the population of Northern Ireland.

There is an increasing emphasis on putting the people who use services at the centre what is being done and this was also a theme in the AHP strategy consultation.  Personal and Public Involvement is a legislative requirement for Health and Social Care organisations as laid down in the Health and Social Services (Reform) Northern Ireland Act 2009.
