OPM

Some of the most interesting learning from the Total Place pilots has not been the headline numbers in terms of projected cost savings, but the powerful impact that a combination of creative thinking and deep analysis has on the way managers and professionals look at social problems. The scale of cuts in public spending means that a Total Place approach is far more valuable than a quick and easy 'salami-slicing' exercise, since it offers the possibility of changing the way we think about how we meet social needs in the future.

When it comes to meeting expectations for quality improvement and productivity gains, NHS leaders need timely and robust evidence to make informed choices and to justify difficult decisions. OPM’s team of social researchers, analysts and evaluators offers research capacity to gather the evidence you need, to find out ‘what works’ and ‘how things work’, and to mine your own data for insights. This flyer describes our approach.

NHS leaders who are thinking about merging or integrating services, or collaborating with other organisations to improve services, may find this short flyer helpful.
