5. And so…..
Questions;
Is the answer to this range of challenges likely to be one dimensional?
Is the optimal response likely to lie in just doing more of the same or just changing everything?
How should we deploy our combined efforts to thrive in this new environment?

6. It’s complicated….
Too bad all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving cabs and cutting hair.

8. Quality, Quality and more Quality
Mutually beneficial partnerships between patients, their families and those delivering healthcare services. Partnerships which respect individual needs and values and which demonstrate compassion, continuity, clear communication and shared decision-making.
No avoidable injury or harm from the healthcare they receive, and that they are cared for in an appropriate, clean and safe environment at all times.
The most appropriate treatments, interventions, support and services will be provided at the right time to everyone who will benefit, with no wasteful or harmful variation.

9. Our ‘2020 Vision’
EVERYONE IS ABLE TO LIVE LONGER HEALTHIER LIVES, AT HOME, OR IN A HOMELEY SETTING
We will have a healthcare system where we have integrated health and social care, a focus on prevention, anticipation and supported self management.
When hospital treatment is required, and cannot be provided in a community setting, day case treatment will be the norm.
Whatever the setting, care will be provided to the highest standards of quality and safety, with the person at the centre of all decisions.
There will be a focus on ensuring that people get back into their home or community environment as soon as appropriate, with minimal risk of re-admission.

12. “The 3rd Curve”
Given the challenges – hard to see sustainable route without this – can’t treat our way through this.
Untapped potential of public activation
Patients and families tell us that healthy living is a key outcome for them
Shifting the balance of care and shiftin gthe balance of power

13. Assets and Co Production: In Plain English
Made here by us
Nothing about us, without us, is for us
Building the boat not just steering it
Working with us, not doing things to or for us
On tap not on top
Lighting 1000 fires all over the community
I have a problem I want help to fix it
What can I do?
Lots of examples – here are some of phrases used by community groups to describe what they mean
They vary in their ambition and boldness
How bold and ambitious do we want to be?
Do we want people to design the boat or even decide they’d rather have a bicycle?

14. Assets vs Deficits Deficit thinking Assets thinking Strengths based
How can we create community spirit?
What can I do?
We’re all in this together
We’re getting there
Work with engaged people
People have the answers
People control their lives
Deficit thinking
Problem orientated
How to fix this problem?
Someone needs to sort this
Us versus them
Problems are embedded
Do things to people
People are a problem
People can’t be trusted to decide/be in control
A quick reminder of the differences.
Assets based and deficit based approaches take policies and services down radically different routes, radically different ways of thinking and going about the business
Christie and others link many of our current intractable problems in policies and services which define people by what they can’t do or their problems, treat them as passive recipients incapable of and not to be trusted with determining their own lives and so further disempowering and alienating them. They argue that doing things to people has been ineffective and resource intensive. Structural inequalities reinforce powerlessness and hopelessness and create barriers to self fulfillment and realisation of assets allowing inequalities in outcomes such as health to flourish.
A lack of assets creates and sustains transient and troubled communities which are disconnected, powerless and passive. Lacking connections, self worth and empathy, they are riven by prejudice, intolerance. Sectarianism, anti social behavior, hate crimes and disrespect thrive in weak and threatened communities and on poverty and inequality. 14

15. Some foundations?

17. Making change happen Promote shift to assets thinking & behaviours
Develop a shared understanding, clear & consistent message across policies & initiatives
Empower & skill workforce and people/communities
Support better links, hubs, joining up
Support learning and sharing of what works
Improve intelligence on whether we are delivering outcomes people & communities want
Making assets our main approach will require major system change. It will require better support for joining up across boundaries and silos; learning and reflective practice and a focus on empowerment. 17

18. Theory 1
The leaders of the future need to be experts in performance, quality and co-production. They will be comfortable with complexity and conflict and generous with power.

19. Theory 2
Reliability of values, ethics and behaviours is likely to be just as important as reliable professional practice.

20. Keep it Real Don’t get lost in theory and jargon
This is about people and communities
There are examples of assets rich communities and fiery spirits everywhere
We know how to do this
We want to do it
Just do it 20

21. Just start!!!
