3 OFFICIAL 1 Executive summary The West Midlands Strategic Clinical Networks and Clinical Senate serve a population of approximately 6 Million people living across the West Midlands. There are four Strategic Clinical Networks (SCNs), as follows: o Cancer o Mental Health, Dementia & Neurological Conditions o Maternity & Children, and o Cardiovascular. Each SCN delivers a portfolio of projects across its clinical work streams aimed at improving outcomes for everyone. The core objectives for the SCNs, delivered in conjunction with our stakeholders, are: i. optimisation of care pathways across commissioning systems to deliver the right care, in the right place at the right time to improve quality, ii. reducing premature mortality and morbidity by addressing unwarranted iii. variation in primary care, providing strategic clinical advice on issues relating to service review, reconfiguration and redesign. A summary of the current SCN work programmes, outputs and achievements in the last month are presented on pages 4-8 of this Report The West Midlands Clinical Senate supports service change, including early clinical advice to commissioners to help inform the development of proposals: strategic clinical advice to commissioners on relevant clinical guidance/ best practice advice to support commissioners in developing their case for change, options appraisal and proposed clinical models as well as providing independent clinical advice as part of the NHS England s service change assurance process: independent clinical advice in the form of a formal report which will be considered as part of the NHS England assurance process for service change proposals. The current work programme for the Clinical Senate, including the status of each project, is presented on the final page of this Report. I hope you will find this summary of current projects undertaken by the West Midlands SCNs and Clinical Senate helpful.
