The purpose of our workforce programme is to develop and sustain a capable and flexible workforce across health and social care in the Eastern region through supporting the implementation of New Ways of Working for Everyone.

Key activities:

• Supporting trust colleagues trained by CSIP Eastern in the Creating Capable Teams Approach (CCTA) (which was developed to support the integration of New Ways of Working)
• A review of the implementation of Support Time and Recovery Workers (STR) in the region
• Running New Ways of Working Learning Sets for senior directors in the 7 mental health trusts in our region – allowing discussion of strategic and operational issues, sharing best practice, hearing about new development, publications and gaining confidence in implementing new policy.

Key resources:

• New Ways of Working for Everyone
• New Ways of Working for Everyone: A best practice implementation guide
• Creating Capable Teams Approach
• An Information leaflet
• A Senior Management Briefing, providing an insight in the benefits and rationale of the CCTA from an organisational perspective
• An Executive Summary, written in a questions and format and providing a comprehensive overview of the CCTA
