  • NHS Lanarkshire Kirklands Hospital Fallside Road Bothwell G71 8BB
    Director-General Health & Social Care and Chief Executive NHSScotland Malcolm Wright T: 0131-244 2790 E: [email protected] Calum Campbell Chief Executive NHS Lanarkshire Kirklands Hospital Fallside Road Bothwell G71 8BB ___ 17 June 2019 Dear Calum NHS LANARKSHIRE: ANNUAL OPERATIONAL PLAN 2019/20 Thank you for submitting your Annual Operational Plan (AOP), setting out your operational priorities and key actions for 2019/20. May I take this opportunity to thank you and your team for all the hard work that has gone into the preparation of the AOP over the last few months. As detailed in the guidance we issued in February 2019, the AOP is intended to support NHS Boards and their partners to deliver safe, effective and accessible treatment and care, and provides the basis on which the Scottish Government will hold Boards to account for their contribution over the year to delivering the Cabinet Secretary’s priorities including waiting times improvement; investment in mental health; and achieving greater progress and pace in the integration of Health and Social Care. In responding to your AOP, I would like to take the opportunity to reinforce the importance of adopting a whole system approach to implementation. This will necessitate a clear focus on interagency and integrated working with your key partners and stakeholders across the health and care system, always maintaining the primacy of patient safety as an underpinning principle. We recognise that this is essentially a one year plan, focusing on 2019/20 at this stage. For next year, we will want to move to align the AOP with the three year planning horizon set out in the Medium Term Financial Framework to ensure that we have clear visibility of the significant change processes that are underway across the system and to ensure that AOPs fully support and reflect the service reform agenda.

The campaign was launched by Dr Kate Granger, who is a terminally ill cancer patient. She started the campaign after a hospital stay in England last year when she observed that many staff looking after her did not introduce themselves before delivering care. Frances Dodd, divisional director of nursing, said: “Introducing yourself to every patient is fundamental in providing patient-centred care. “We all know that the little things make a massive impact on patients. By introducing yourself, you can help establish a friendly and trusting relationship with your patients. Compassion is central to great healthcare.” You can support Dr Granger’s campaign on Twitter by sending her a message at @GrangerKate including your name and the phrase #hellomynameis octors are calling on SMOKERSsmokers to support the NHS LANARKSHIRE APPEALS CAN TO SMOKERS TO SUPPORTHELP BAN AND ban on smoking on NHS SET A GOOD EXAMPLE BY NOT LIGHTING UP ON HOSPITAL GROUNDS premises.
