Our annual plan

The year will be both a pivotal and a transitional year for the Collaborative. 

The overall high level priorities that have shaped this plan are the needs to support:

• The implementation of the NHS Wales National Clinical Framework and NHS Wales Quality and Safety Framework, including taking a value based approach to healthcare
• The implementation of the National Plan for Transforming Planned Care and Reducing Waiting Times for NHS Wales and related work to support clinically led system recovery from the impact of the Covid pandemic
• A more joined up and strategic approach to the future configuration and delivery of diagnostic services in NHS Wales
• The existing priorities already determined by our various network and programme boards and implementation groups
• The wider system in responding to the imperatives of the NHS Wales Planning Framework
• The further strengthening of the Collaborative itself, to facilitate the delivery of the above priorities

We will keep this plan under active review throughout 2022/23 and ensure that it is adapted in a controlled way (via appropriate governance processes) as priorities evolve and the impacts and demands of the new Executive, the implementation of the National Clinical Framework and of the NHS Wales recovery plan become clearer.
