The document discusses the importance of person-centered collaborative care for people with long-term conditions. It aims to move this approach from isolated examples to mainstream practice by creating the right conditions through workforce development, evidence, and influencing healthcare systems. This will be done by supporting practitioners, patients, families and communities in a "powerful movement for change" where patients are at the heart of decision-making.

2. Why person-centred
collaborative care is
important and what it
involves

3. Our vision for the future
There is an increasing recognition of the great
potential for new and better ways for people’s
expertise to come together to ensure improved
outcomes for people with long-term conditions.
But also frustration that the promising practice that
can be seen in patches around the country is not
becoming mainstream practice quickly enough.
We want to change this and work with those
determined to move person-centred collaborative
care from the margins, to the centre of practice and
experience.

4. How do we plan to do this?
We want to create the right
conditions for this to flourish,
through:
• Workforce development
• Providing powerful evidence
• Identifying and pulling system levers to
drive positive change in practice

5. How do we plan to do this?
It is about supporting and nurturing a powerful
movement for change amongst practitioners,
people living with long-term conditions, their
family carers and the wider community.
Ensuring this ‘movement’ has the tools,
connections and support it needs.
And that people with long-term conditions and
their family carers are at the heart of this.

6. How do we plan to do this?
• We will play an important part in key developments that will shape the future of health
such as the Integrated Personal Commissioning Programme
• We will look for all opportunities to get significant support targeted to those local
systems showing clear commitment to transform practice. This includes support to the
people with long-term conditions so they are able to contribute to this movement
• We will support our members to become better informed, to link together and develop
their ability to have positive local impact and we will consult with members on how
best to do this

7. Creating sustainable impact
There is an opportunity to make a real
difference to the lives of people with long-term
conditions.
But for deep, large-scale, sustainable
change to happen we need to creative a
collective, powerful movement.
We already have a strong group of
national partner organisations and from
today we’ll be actively encouraging
additional partners and members to join.
