About Us
About One Devon (One Devon: NHS Devon Integrated Care Board responsible for the majority of NHS budget and services in Devon)
One Devon is a collaboration of the NHS and local councils, as well as a wide range of other organisations like the voluntary sector, who are working together to improve the lives of people in Devon.
One of the lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic is that people need joined up support across local councils, the NHS and voluntary and community organisations – One Devon aims to do just that.
We want to make our system as strong and effective as possible through partnership working and, with the ambition to tackle health inequalities, help communities thrive and achieve the very best for everyone.
The NHS People Digital Programme
Devon has been selected by NHSE to deliver the Scaling People Services Vanguard for the Southwest. Devon is the only ICS nationally to be conducting both Scaling and Digital activities concurrently, to amplify benefits beyond running these independently:
- Scaling will move Devon towards a unified model, at a system level, which takes advantage of common processes, policies, governance, and operating models to deliver a consistent employee experience across the system.
- Digital will give our frontline workers a consumer-grade experience and simplified route to get support from People Services, through the integration of our people digital landscape and the introduction of automation and an intuitive people portal. It will enable us to have a single source of truth for people data, to support reporting and strategic workforce planning.
The Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is the host employer for the NHS People Digital Programme.
