About the strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Putting people and communities at the heart of all we do and focusing on the things that are most important to you will help us in supporting everyone to live happy and healthy lives from cradle to old age.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div>
<\/i>Overview of our vision and priorities<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Together, we will:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>
<\/div>

make sure our resources are used where they\u2019re needed to meet health and care needs<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
<\/div>

look at how public, independent and voluntary organisations can provide joined-up care together<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
<\/div>

listen to people, and involve them in making decisions about their care and how
\nthey get it<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
<\/div>

look at how well things are working for our communities, and make changes if things aren\u2019t right<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

You will:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

    \n
  • be more involved in your care and in the decisions that are made about what care you\u2019ll be receiving and why<\/li>\n
  • be able to access information more easily in a format that is suitable for your needs<\/li>\n
  • be considered as a person rather than a patient, your care will be tailored to suit you, not your condition or injury<\/li>\n
  • be listened to and where things aren\u2019t right, your experiences will be used to make improvements<\/li>\n
  • be able to access services closer to home, not passing from service to service. This will save you time and money by not having to make multiple trips to hospital settings<\/li>\n
  • be able to access Dorset\u2019s natural environment to stay well and use green spaces to improve your physical and mental wellbeing<\/li>\n
  • have the right tools to stay well and independent for longer, so you can manage your own health and wellbeing successfully, and recognise when things aren\u2019t right or when you may need extra support.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>

    \u2018Integrated care systems are all
    \nabout improving outcomes and
    \ntackling inequalities. I\u2019m excited by the
    \nopportunity working as a single system
    \nbrings \u2013 only by working together and
    \nlistening to local people will we make the
    \nchanges we need to.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>

    <\/span><\/div>
    <\/div><\/div>

    \u2018I\u2019m encouraged by the focus in integrated
    \ncare systems of using our collective assets
    \nto improve prospects for people who don\u2019t
    \nget the chances of a decent job, or home or
    \nsupport network. These factors are so crucial
    \nto health we mustn\u2019t underestimate what we
    \ncould do together to help.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>

    \u2018When we talk to communities about what
    \nmakes a great place, people mention the
    \nimportance of our natural environment to
    \nboost wellbeing. This is where councils can
    \nmake a real contribution to integrated care
    \nsystems, aiming to be the best place for
    \nwellbeing and healthy living.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>
