Its aim is to enable the NHS to deliver better outcomes for patients and communities and better working environments for staff, which are personal, fair and diverse. At the heart of the EDS is a set of 18 outcomes grouped into four goals. These outcomes focus on the issues of most concern to patients, carers, communities and staff. It is against these outcomes that performance is analysed, graded and action determined. The grading of the CCG will be carried out by local people across Blackburn with Darwen on a yearly basis. The four EDS goals are: 1. Better health outcomes 2. Improved patient access and experience 3. A representative and supported workforce 4. Inclusive leadership More information about the goals and outcomes of EDS can be viewed here Resources and EDS documents The link below to NHS England provide’s information on the Equality Delivery System The Equality Delivery System – A refreshed Equality Delivery System for the NHS – EDS2 MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS SUPPORT FIND SERVICES Choose a service and enter your postcode SOCIAL MEDIA Shoppers to get more than they bargained for as extra vaccine appointments offered November 26, 2021 0 Look after your’elf is the message to children across Lancashire and South Cumbria this Christmas November 24, 2021 0 Top up jab bookings opened up for more than one million people November 22, 2021 0 It’s National COPD Awareness Month – do you know what to look out for?
