How to Improve
- A more joined up communication between ECPT/S2BH staff (not directors)
- Shared resources i.e. marketing, admin functions?
- Increased time together as a team External observation to offer us guidance and areas for improvement
- Ensure all service users and stakeholders of ECPT and S2BH are aware of the partnership
- Firm up S2BH Strategic Plan and Workforce Development Plan to link-in to partnership goals
- Enhanced communication, some kind of monthly mail shot that goes both ways that we can share between each other, staff, self- employed clinicians, stakeholders and any other partners with an interest. This would update everyone on what people are working on and ensure transparency for each organisation to their users.
- More frequent partnership meetings clear role structure
- I would like a fuller understanding of the partnership and a fuller understanding of my role within that. I feel extending this out to others involved in both businesses would be helpful to ensure all parties are aware of partnership, expectations and relationships.
- increase communication, make what is implicit in the partnership explicit and owned with joined up strategic planning and development.
- Grow the idea of the partnership being a coherent whole. The answer to ‘where do you work?’ would be, ‘I work within the S2BH/ECPT partnership’.
