Across Liverpool and the wider Cheshire and Merseyside region, there is significant opportunity to improve patient outcomes and experiences be strengthening collaboration across clinical pathways. 

Operating as one under Liverpool Adult Acute and Specialist Providers (LAASP) Programme will provide us with the ability to take joint responsibility for the entire patient pathway for the first time. This alignment will enable us to define shared goals and work collaboratively to strategically redesign pathways where needed. 

By improving flow between our sites and standardising operating procedures, we can eliminate unwarranted variation in care deliver and improve equity of access to high quality care for our population. 

Working together also allows us to reimagine how we care for our patients, many of whom have complex needs. Through better co-ordination and fewer, better-planned interactions, we can greatly improve their overall experience of healthcare.
