North West Neurosurgery Specialised Services Clinical Network launched to ensure high quality leadership and service delivery
The North West Neurosurgery Specialised Services Clinical Network (SSCN) held its inaugural board meeting this week, marking a significant milestone.
The SSCN brings together the region’s three providers: The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust, the Northern Care Alliance and Lancashire Teaching Hospitals.
Funded by NHS England North West, the remit of the network is to ensure patients receive the highest levels of patient-centred, multidisciplinary care in the most appropriate environment and to also collaborate to provide professional and clinical leadership design and deliver high-quality services.
SSCN Chair Professor Paul May said: "Our key priority is to establish a collaborative platform across all three providers, an approach that enabled the Board to hear our plans for the coming years, focused on pathway assessments and opportunities to enhance access, outcomes, and experience."
SSCN Network Manager Alastair Leslie-Dakers said: "The inaugural Network Board was a significant milestone in the development of our collaboration. It marks the start of our journey, working together to strategically plan and develop NHS neurosurgery services in the North West."
