Winter Pressures 2022/2023

On Friday 12 May 2023 over 70 leaders from across the Suffolk and North East Essex ICS attended an ICS Leaders Awayday to look at ICS System Learning from Winter Pressures 2022/23. The event included more than 20 speakers including frontline clinicians, patients and the public and leaders from across the NHS, social care, public health and the VCFSE sector.

A comprehensive report from the event has been produced and is now available below. This includes written accounts of each of the presentations, reflections following the day and also a summary of key points captured using the ‘Three Horizons Thinking’ model. The event explored a broad range of areas where action might be taken within the ICS using a data and experience driven approach to both mitigate short term pressures and ensure that to move to more viable long term solutions.

The event prompted a range of subsequent conversations and discussions including incorporation into the SNEE UEC One Plan led by the NHS ICB with 8 workstreams each with an Executive level SRO and identified benefits, timelines and success measures.

A second event was held in September 2023 and an additional addendum report produced.
