Personalisation is key to Lincolnshire's health and care strategy
Personalisation is a proven approach that creates better relationships between those needing support and those providing it, transforming the way care is delivered and leading to better outcomes for both people and providers.
The evidence base for person-centred care is substantial and continues to grow, demonstrating positive impacts on people, professionals, the system, and finances.
Personalisation also helps us to tackle health inequalities, taking account of different backgrounds and preferences, with people from lower socioeconomic groups able to benefit the most from personalised care approaches.
Read our document Evidence of Personalisation Impacts for examples of the power of person-centred approaches to effect meaningful change.
With such a wealth of evidence, it's no surprise that personalisation is now right at the heart of health and care strategy thinking, including the NHS Long Term Plan, the Care Act, and Lord Darzi’s recent Independent investigation of the NHS in England
Personalised care is also a cornerstone of Labour's 10-year plan for the NHS (2025), playing a vital role in shifting care from hospitals into the community, focusing on prevention, and making smart use of digital technology.
And, at the local level, personalisation is a key element of both the Better Lives Lincolnshire Integrated Care Partnership (ICP) Strategy and the NHS Lincolnshire Joint Forward Plan 2023 – 2028:
- Better Lives Lincolnshire ICP Strategy: Personalisation is one of the strategy’s five key enablers.
- NHS Lincolnshire Joint Forward Plan: ‘A better relationship with the public’ is Priority 1 and underpins all other strategy priorities. This better relationship is being created through Our Shared Agreement, a shift to people and healthcare providers making decisions together, people and professionals co-producing improved or new services, and supporting people and their families to manage their own health and wellbeing.
