CSIP South West Development Centre
About CSIP
Supporting the delivery of Department of Health policy priorities at a national, regional and local level to bring about improvements in health and well-being.
Care Services Improvement Partnership is a partnership of four national improvement programmes, delivered regionally.
The Department of Health (DH) and the Strategic Health Authorities (SHAs) have implemented changes to the Care Services Improvement Partnership’s role and way of working.
The changes were agreed following a thorough review of CSIP’s eight regional development centres (RDCs) and nationally coordinated programmes that come under its auspices.
The value of CSIP’s programmes has been recognised and their role in supporting improvement across and beyond health and social care remains pivotal to the effective delivery of an ambitious policy agenda.
CSIP South West is commissioned by the South West Strategic Health Authority and the Department of Health. We are accountable to the Strategic Health Authority for our regionally agreed programmes of work. We also have an accountability to the director of the CSIP National Support Office for discharging our responsibilities for work commissioned centrally, and for ensuring that we contribute to nationally agreed programmes.
We have agreed a change plan that outlines how CSIP South West will continue to support working across the NHS and social care, engaging with local government and the Government Office network. CSIP South West and the South West Strategic Health Authority will keep key partners and stakeholders informed of progress on a regular basis.
Our role is to support the delivery of DH policy priorities at a national, regional and local level to bring about improvements in health and well-being. Read more about our approach.
