NHS North Central London Sector
Client challenge
NHS North Central London Sector was created as part of the NHS reorganisation. They have to deliver their part of the Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention (QIPP) programme- a large scale transformational programme with the aim of improving the quality of care the NHS delivers whilst making up to £20billion of efficiency savings by 2014-15
How did we help?
We were brought in at very short notice by NHS Camden to assist with the completion of the QIPP project plans for the North Central London Sector (NCL) We subsequently stayed on to run the Project Management Office and provide programme governance during the transition period when most NHS NCL staff were applying for positions in the new organisation structure, moving from Primary Care Trusts (PCT) to the newly established NCL Sector
Once the new PMO management team had been recruited, we remained to ensure continuity and a smooth handover, but most importantly to make sure the ambitious savings programme stayed on track to deliver the planned savings.
Finally we completed an assignment working with senior leads across the NCL Sector to investigate potential additional savings initiatives to bridge the savings gap for 2011/12 and to establish savings opportunities for subsequent years.
What we delivered
We :
- Reviewed, standardised and improved 51 project Gantts across 14 savings programmes for NHS London, covering both Borough owned initiatives such as Primary Care and centrally led savings schemes such as the Cancer and Maternity work programmes
- Prepared projected financials for 46 projects to contribute towards the total savings for 2011/12
- Prepared 2 page summaries for each of these projects providing a short summary, description of key outcomes, high level risks and mitigation
- Developed Risk Registers for 9 of the sub-programmes
- Developed programme reporting including the creation of the sub-programme dashboards
- Established a baseline from which changes could be controlled and implemented a change control process
- Tracked savings against the baseline agreed with NHS London
- managed the preparation of the papers for the bi-weekly QIPP Delivery Board meetings including the sub-programme dashboards, change controls and other required paperwork and produced the PMO summary paper for these meetings
- Established and evaluated additional Savings Opportunities
Benefits to NHS NCL Sector
Sector Management were able to meet aggressive timescales in establishing their QIPP programme, demonstrably monitor its progress and identify additional opportunities for cost saving
