Below is the foreword by Kate O’Connell, Director of Leeds Health and Care Academy and Strategic Workforce:
Under the ambition of the Leeds Health and Wellbeing Strategy, the previous Leeds One Workforce Strategy brought Leeds Health and Care organisations together around a shared aspiration; to better integrate the health and social care workforce and realise the potential of our One Workforce.
During the last five years, the impact of the Covid pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis has created unprecedented challenges for our services and our workforce, and our ability to drive forward our One Workforce Strategy as planned, was severely tested. Through this adversity however, our partnership has flourished, proving its potential as we innovated, learned and matured faster and with more positive impact than we thought possible.
With guidance from our Leeds One Workforce Strategic Board, the Leeds Health and Care Academy has developed an integral role within our partnership, building connections, maintaining collective focus, accelerating progress and evaluating impact. Close alignment with our
Leeds Academic Health Partnership ensures that One Workforce is a key strategic partner for Health Innovation Leeds. Our statutory partners
continue to provide collective leadership and valued shared resource as Anchor Institutions, and our wider partners and networks are unfailingly generous with their expertise, opportunities and commitment.
As we look towards 2030, we see even greater potential for our health and social care workforce in Leeds, as part of a well-connected, ambitious
West Yorkshire Integrated Care System which recognises the value of our paid and volunteer workforce beyond traditional roles. With the
clarity of joint ambition, and the strength of our partnership and shared learning to build on, we are confident that we can work together to
support and develop our colleagues in a way that best delivers the city’s aspirations for the health and wellbeing of the people of Leeds.
I look forward to implementing this strategy together.
