In Bolton, we are working together as one team to make improvements for our local people.Over the next 5 years, we want to make sure that health and care services are they best they can possibly be and we know we can only do that by listening to what matters most to you and your loved ones.

During recent years, we’ve changed the way we are working across our organisations, to do what’s right for our local communities.Together, we call ourselves the Bolton Health and Care Partnership which is a commitment to working closely, understanding our own pieces of the puzzle, and working together to solve problems.

Our partnership is made up of colleagues from primary care, secondary care, local authority, public health and the voluntary sector. As a partnership, we’ve been working on our priorities and areas of focus, based on the data and information we have and what our teams see on a regular basis.

We need your help to make sure we are addressing the things that matter most to you.

Our top priorities across Bolton

1. Reducing unfair differences in health

2. Supporting connections in our communities

3. Helping Bolton residents to live well

4. Giving our children every chance to succeed

5. Making the best use of our resources

6. Investing in our current staff and opening doors for future generations

A focus in on our health specific priorities

We have also been working on some clinical priorities that will guide our hospital and community health teams and make sure we’re all focused on making sure our services are the best they can possibly be. Our priorities have been formed based on what our expert staff know, and what they hear from the people who use our services.

At the moment, our priorities are:

1. Improving the health of the population

2. Enhancing people’s experience from start to finish

3. Innovating and collaborating for the future
