Clinical & Care Professional Leadership Assembly

In Lancashire and South Cumbria, our ambition is to ensure that clinical and care professional leadership is a key part of everything we do, from planning and delivering services, to making important decisions about our future direction as an Integrated Care Board. We are committed to ensuring that our clinicians and care professionals play an active role in our system and their voices are heard within every strand of transformation and service development.

In September 2021, NHSE published implementation guidance on their Clinical and Care Professional Framework (CCPL) to enable a multi-professional leadership to be created within ICBs.

Our leadership model was developed by working closely with our clinical and care professional networks to build a multi-disciplinary model which ensures a focus on local places, as well as ensuring a robust and integrated leadership profile across Lancashire and South Cumbria.

The clinical and care leadership framework builds on the many existing professional leadership and engagement networks such as clinical networks and single profession networks which already exist in primary community, secondary and social care.

One of our key commitments is to include a diverse range of clinicians and care professionals’ voices within our decision-making processes and therefore every member of the leadership team will hold an invite to our clinical and care professional assembly to ensure the input from all of our clinical and care professional leaders is fed in at all levels of the system.
