11. Random breakout rooms
• You will move to random breakout rooms for 10 minutes. This
will be a chance to:
• Network
• Discuss what you just heard from Bola and Jim
• When you return from the main session we will ask you to complete a
poll with your thoughts on what inclusive recovery means to you
12. 1. Go back to your organisations with clarity of why inclusive elective
recovery matters and why we should all care
2. Understand this is doable! Take health inequalities out of the 'too
difficult' pile, return to your organisations energised and inspired.
3. Pledge to go out and do something. Move from policy into practice –
create tangible action that makes a difference in people's lives.
Three points from Bola and Jim’s call to action:
13. What does inclusive recovery meant to you?
Please summarise your thoughts in one sentence.

32. Inclusive Elective Care Recovery | The Strategy Unit (strategyunitwm.nhs.uk)
• To support elective care recovery, the 21/22 NHS Operational Planning Guidance laid out
five priority areas for the NHS to focus its’ operational efforts on, one of which was to
“restore elective care inclusively”. Systems were encouraged to use their local data to
identify, improve understanding of, and take action to address healthcare inequalities.
• As a result of the 21/22 NHS Operational Planning Guidance, examples of interventions
and programmes aimed at delivering inclusive elective care recovery began to emerge.
The Healthcare Inequalities Improvement Team at NHS England asked the Strategy Unit
to collect and collate some of these examples in a structured way.
• In February-April 2023, we spoke to operational and clinical colleagues involved in
interventions aimed at delivering inclusive elective care recovery across England.
• Case studies will be made available reflecting what was heard, in a strengths based,
thematic approach.
