The Partner Priority Programme’s (PPP) overall aim was to share knowledge and experience in order to identify which of the new healthcare models being developed by CLAHRC NWC Partners are the most effective in reducing health inequalities, improving population health and wellbeing and reducing emergency admissions.

Over 35 Partners including Local Authorities, Hospitals, Clinical Commissioning Groups and Universities developed evaluation plans with support from CLAHRC NWC. Participants had access to specialists to assist with research methods, developing implementation plans and learning about transformation in organisations.Service Users and CLAHRC NWC Public Advisers attend a series of workshops in conjunction with Partners to develop and feed input into the plans.

The Partner Priority Programme was held annually for three years with the overall aim to share knowledge and experience in order to identify which of the new healthcare models being developed by CLAHRC NWC Partners were the are most effective in reducing health inequalities, improving population health and well being and reducing emergency admissions.
