The Community Provider Network (CPN)
Since 2019, the SE London Integrated Care System (ICS), four community health providers and six local authorities have worked collaboratively to develop adult community health services through the Community Provider Network (CPN).
Dr Ify Okocha, CEO of Oxeas NHSFT, chairs the CPN and is the community services representative on the SE London Integrated Care Board (ICB). Jacqui Scott is the SRO for the CYP CPN and is the Chief Executive Office of Bromley Healthcare.
The CYP Community Provider Network (CPN) aims to meet the strategic requirements of the SEL ICB, BCYP Programme Board and the SEL Local Care Partnerships (LCP’s) by supporting the delivery of high-quality pathways that seek to reduce presentations to A&E and admissions to acute care, better manage demand and capacity pressures in community services and reduce any inequalities in patient outcomes across the region.
The CPN oversees the development and implementation of a CYP Core Offer programme across SEL taking a collaborative approach to working holistically across the system with a named clinical lead for each Core Offer as well as close involvement of acute and primary care SEL clinical leads. The CPN also provides a community of best practice for the clinicians involved in delivering community health services.
The development of an active community of best practice for clinicians and managers has resulted in agreed common standards for core offer services and has facilitated the piloting and subsequent scale-up of models of care that have been shown to work at neighbourhood level. The CYP core offer programme is addressing variation across autism assessment, asthma, continence and children’s Hospital at Home pathways and will include community paediatrics and Speech & Language Therapy as its next priority area.
The Networks are well regarded in SE London and there is potential for them to grow and strengthen their programme of work, contribution and influence. We are looking for an experienced Project Manager with an understanding of community health services and their potential within the health and social care sector, to lead and drive forward this work.
We would welcome applications from those interested in a different work/life balance or who would like a part-time role.
