CTM colleagues awarded funding for improving partnership working project idea
Five colleagues from CTM UHB have been awarded £40,000 funding through Q Exchange for their improvement project – one of only three shortlisted in Wales.
Q is a community of thousands of people across the UK and Ireland, collaborating to improve the safety and quality of health and care. Q Exchange is one of Q’s funding programmes. It is funded by the Health Foundation.
Victoria Wallace, Deputy Director of Strategy and Partnerships, Andrea Davies, Head of Mental Health Psychology & Psychological Therapies, Paul Anthony Gimson, Assistant Director of Improvement, Claire Turbutt, Principal Public Health Practitioner, and Matt Jenkins, Regional Integrated Health and Social Care Services Director worked together to submit their idea for this year’s theme “How can we improve across system boundaries?”. Their project “Further Together: Improving care though a new kind of partnership” aims to address deprivation in South Wales valleys through working in partnership to shift NHS resources into communities. It was one of 127 proposals and 30 shortlisted projects, and won via a Q Exchange community-wide vote at the end of May.
Work now begins to identify the support requirements with the aim of delivering and evaluating the project by April 2025. Read more about project.
The team shared: “We are really pleased and excited to have been awarded funding through The Health Foundation’s Q Exchange programme to support our work locally in CTM UHB. The aim of our project is to understand how we can work better together across health and local authorities to improve the health and wellbeing for our population. Being part of the Q Exchange will be really beneficial as we will be able to learn from the experience of other projects who have been awarded funding as well as the resources available through the Q Exchange programme.”
Congratulations to Victoria, Andrea, Paul, Claire and Matt.
