Our Health Together
Living our Best Lives in Lanarkshire
Introduction
Our new healthcare strategy, ‘Our Health Together – Living Our Best Lives in Lanarkshire’ is a route map that starts us on a journey to deliver positive change. We will work with our staff, communities and partners to explore together how we can reform to deliver sustainable, affordable services that provide person centred high quality care. We have already started this process, and our communities and staff were involved in a far reaching engagement process during 2023 where we sought to understand what matters to people who use our services, or staff and the wider community.
A lot has changed since we published our previous strategy, ‘Achieving Excellence,’ in 2017. The pandemic and cost of living crisis` impact has been greatest on our most vulnerable groups. To deliver a better patient experience, we must transform our models of care, improve performance and ensure we make best use of resources to achieve best value. This includes taking action to promote good health. We have identified 4 priority areas of focus – Urgent and Emergency Care, Planned Care (including outpatients and surgery), Mental Health and Primary Care (which includes general practice).
The exciting development to replace the University Hospital Monklands provides opportunities to explore ideas for innovation and service redesign. Adopting new approaches for health care provision across our whole system will deliver a better experience for our patients and service users.
