Lincolnshire Clinical and Care Directorate
The Lincolnshire Clinical and Care Directorate is home to Lincolnshire’s clinical and care leadership.
Its aim is to lead clinical and care professional excellence at all levels within the Integrated Care System (ICS), by bringing together appropriate expertise, coordinating care delivery informed by best practice, underpinned by population health and research, driven by data.
The directorate aims to be the collective voice of all health and care professionals in Lincolnshire:
- Providing evidence-based decision-making, by well-led clinical professional groups
- Having a greater influence on system decisions which impact upon clinical and care provision and quality
- Ensuring that system, clinical and directorate priorities align
It is made up of clinical and care professional leaders from a diversity of backgrounds who are involved in decision-making throughout the integrated care system.
Members of the directorate have a mandate from their organisations, to make decisions regarding clinical pathways and re-design to ensure that clinicians and care professionals drive decision-making.
Together they help ensure the priorities, strategies and plans of the Integrated Care Partnership (ICP) and the Integrated Care Board (ICB), fully connect with the needs and aspirations of people with lived experience and carers, and drive the strategic objectives of the system, whilst listening to the voice of local communities.
