Summit paves the way for Streamlining Success
Sorcha Callus ESR Functional Account Manager from the ESR North of England team recently supported a Streamlining Summit with the Humber, Coast and Vale STP.
In this edition of ESR News Sorcha talks about the summit and what the Humber, Coast and Vale STP hopes to achieve by driving their Streamlining agenda with ESR.
Humber, Coast and Vale STP began their Streamlining journey in the summer after a very successful kick-start summit for all key stakeholders from across the region.
Service Managers, Business Partners, Senior Leads and other regional colleagues were joined by Trust HR Directors and Deputies to drive forward this initiative. With Health Education England and the Streamlining Deputy Executive Lead sharing their thoughts and enthusiasm for the wider region the room was soon buzzing with everyone wanting to understand exactly how they were going to enable their organisations to efficiently and effectively streamline their processes.
Along with Mike Winstanley, Senior ESR Account Manager from the ESR North of England team, we demonstrated how full utilisation of ESR would help the region to achieve the potential process changes and efficiencies that are needed.
ESR was unfamiliar to some, so seeing how the functionality would be an enabler to their Trusts realising significant efficiencies through Streamlining was very helpful. Across the STP there are multiple systems in use. Having the opportunity to work directly with the key ESR managers meant questions could be asked, ideas shared, and action plans created. Regardless of third-party systems, ESR is the portal for which most data sharing will happen, and our summit was the perfect platform to discuss experiences across the organisations and agree how we could work as a collective to ensure our success.
Since the summit, Sorcha and fellow Functional Account Manager Amanda Lowdon have delivered the ‘Enabling IAT Workshop’ - mirrored from the same workshop in our neighbouring STP; West Yorkshire and Harrogate. Recruitment and L&D teams were educated about the ESR pre-hire IAT process through technical presentations, collective discussion and local Trust process mapping which helped improve understanding of the key functionality available.
By giving Trusts the opportunity to understand the benefits of Streamlining, the role of ESR in Streamlining and having key technical support from the ESR team has propelled each Trust towards achieving their goals in line with Streamlining, creating a forward thinking network of collective peer support that has subsequently filtered into our individual work-stream operational groups.
