In order to realise the benefits of Sláintecare and the future of healthcare in Ireland, there is a need for strong leadership and ownership at local level, bringing the relationship between primary care and specialist social care, mental health and acute hospital services, as well as advancing the health and wellbeing of the population, into a much more focused and integrated approach in each local area. A Community First approach to the delivery of care will be central to delivering safe, efficient and effective services. Service delivery will be re-oriented towards general practice, primary care and community-based services. By ‘shifting services left’ and prioritising Primary Care and Community Services, we will advance the goals of Sláintecare. Ownership and responsibility for the provision of health and social services, through the life cycle is best placed within the communities that people live. Community Healthcare Networks (CHNs), serving a community population of on average 50,000, are the fundamental unit of organisation for the delivery of services. A total of 96 CHNs have been identified to ensure total population coverage. It is intended that the nine Learning Sites, which commenced in 2019 as the first phase of implementation and the Enhanced Community Care Networks which were expedited in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, will facilitate the move to an increasingly integrated healthcare system which is responsive to people’s needs at the lowest level of complexity, and will ensure a focus on the population in local areas. The Therapy Manager is accountable and responsible for providing clinical governance and assurance regarding professional practice, quality and standards and will have a line of supervision to the relevant CHN/ECCN staff in this respect. They will provide a structured programme of clinical governance and assurance regarding professional practice, quality and standards working across the CHN/ECCN’s. Both the role of the CHN/ECCN Manager and the Therapy Manager are critical to the safe and effective provision of service at Network level. The Network Manager position is the key role within the overall operational management and delivery system, taking ownership of the integration of services within the Network, and with other service providers relevant to the Network. It is acknowledged that the roles of CHN/ECCN Manager and Therapy Manager are distinctive in nature. It is vital that the respective roles are collaborative in nature while being clear about their respective functions so that there is no ambiguity, duplication of purpose or confusion of responsibilities. The CHN/ECCN Manager is the accountable and responsible person for ensuring the delivery of primary care services to the population within the defined network area. Currently a number of Therapy Managers have responsibilities across Primary Care, Mental Health, Disabilities and Services for Older People and the Acute Sector, these Therapy Managers will continue to provide discipline specific input to clinical governance arrangements and/or will provide line management functions for staff other than those within the ECC Programme and in line with the agreed operational structures in place across the CHO. In CHO West, services include: This list is not exhaustive, and it is envisaged that the post holder will forge appropriate relationships as befitting the role. In line with Sláintecare and the Enhanced Community Care Programme, it is planned that structures and reporting lines will evolve to ensure services are configured to meet our priority client/patient requirements.
