SPB & SSDP

The Strategic Partnering Board (SPB)

The SPB was formed so that the public sector would have an opportunity to work in partnership to assess its own needs and to participate in joint projects. The SPB has an independent chair, Les Judd, and meets quarterly. In addition, the SPB regularly holds location-centric meetings, giving local authorities and local health trusts an opportunity to work together on specific issues within SWH LIFT’s coverage area, which includes Southampton, Winchester, Andover, Eastleigh and the New Forest.

The purpose of the SPB

The main purpose of the SPB is to produce the Strategic Service Development Plan (SSDP), the project pipeline which LIFT uses as a guide for future building and development plans. The SSDP is a live document which is refreshed every 12-18 months and is therefore constantly evolving. The SPB is important to LIFT because:
  • It gives the public sector and LIFT an opportunity to meet and assess any service provision gaps and find ways to fill them.
  • It provides a unique forum which links all of the available connections in Hampshire.
  • Members of the SBP benefit greatly from their meetings, where they are able to discuss their own strategies and initiatives and come up with projects that bring all of their future plans together.
  • The group can also use their meetings to hold workshops and to network.
The SPB is independent of LIFT although LIFT does sit on the board and participate in their discussions.

The Strategic Service Development Plan

As mentioned before, the SSDP is the Strategic Partnering Board’s key deliverable, where they identify all gaps of service provision within South West Hampshire and work in partnership to create solutions for these gaps. The plan explains the strategy of the group which is summarised in the SWH LIFT mission statement: ‘Working in partnership to deliver world class, flexible and sustainable health, social care and well-being solutions along with services that add real value to all communities in South West Hampshire.” To download a copy of the SSDP, please click here.
