The Making the Strategic Shift programme works collaboratively across the NWJIP but particularly closely with the Early Intervention and Prevention programme. Our key aim is to support authorities in the region to achieve a 'strategic shift' towards prevention by providing information and support to our stakeholders.
The programme aims to enhance learning and understanding of the best practice available in the five key areas of: reablement, crisis, care pathways, telecare and supported housing.
Work stream overview
The programme is one of the activity strands within the JIP programme work on efficiency. While other work streams will support specific work on the policy transformation outlined in the policy document Putting People First.

Workstream objectives
We aim to quickly enhance learning and understanding of the best practice available) regionally and nationally on the five key service areas reablement, crisis, care pathways, telecare and support related housing
Across these five key service areas we aim to:
- substantially increase the numbers of adult social care consumers benefiting from the strategic shift of early intervention and prevention activities given that these have been identified nationally as being among the most cost effective
- maximise opportunities for these five key service areas to support better integration of initiatives being pursued as part of the Personalisation agenda
- establish regional baseline of information on each of the five key service areas that can feed into the national picture maintained by CSED, and
- collaborate with NHS colleagues in the development of these five key service areas across the whole Health and social care system ensuring that people are maintained in their own community for various long term conditions where currently they would be dealt with through acute institutional services.
