WYAAT – the West Yorkshire Association of Acute Trusts is a partnership of six acute health trusts across West Yorkshire and Harrogate. Greengage were asked by WYAAT to help identify ways the partnership could be strengthened and build on the successes achieved in the partnership’s first two years. We conducted interviews with the key stakeholder including the acute trust chief executives and the accountable officers of the CCGs across West Yorkshire and Harrogate.
"The work Greengage did for us helped us identify a lot of strengths as well as a number of areas where we could improve."
“The work Greengage did for us helped us identify a lot of strengths as well as a number of areas where we could improve. The most positive impact the work had is that it helped us identify a need to strengthen our communication with commissioners and local government to highlight how our work contributes to the overall WY&H Integrated Care System. The need for this wasn’t something we had spotted previously and our approach to communication is now a lot stronger as a result.”
