Care streams

Implementation of new care arrangements is being undertaken by locality teams in each of the six district areas (see the 'locality teams' page). These teams are working in line with a countywide framework of standards and protocols, in order to ensure that quality and safety standards continue to be met.

Over the coming months we will bring you more information on care stream developments through briefings and newsletters.

Care Streams

The framework is being developed by clinically-led ‘care stream boards’ in six themes:

• Emergency care
• Scheduled or planned care
• Long-term conditions
• Children and families
• Mental health
• Specialist services - cancer
