Introduction
This document explains how NHS England will
operate between January 5, 2015 and April 1,
2015 to ensure there is a smooth transition as
we move towards implementing the new
structures and operating model as part of the
Organisational Alignment and Capability
Programme.

Background to the OAC programme
The programme was established in May 2014 to take forward the
recommendations from the initial “stocktake work” in April led by
Karen Wheeler, National Director: Transformation and Corporate
Operations, and Rosamond Roughton, Director of NHS
Commissioning, on behalf of Chief Executive Simon Stevens and
the NHS England Board.
The main scope is to address the following:
• To ensure the organisation is clearer and focused on its core
purpose and priority objectives.
• To build new capabilities for the organisation, which are critical
for it to carry out its role as a commissioning organisation.
• To streamline and align the functions and structures which
support the organisation to work more effectively across the
national support centre, regions and area teams to minimise
duplication and make more effective use of our resources.
• To revise the structures to deliver the necessary cost savings by
April 2015, so NHS England can live within its budget for
2015/16.

What the next three months look like
In January, we are moving into a three-month phase before the new
structures are formally in place for April 1, 2015.
• As we start to transition into the new structures, we are also
keen to use this opportunity to embed new ways of working so
we are more joined up between the centre and regions, and
across directorates, and to ensure we embed clinical advice and
patient engagement in our core work.
• We also need to think about the findings from the staff
barometer, and what we each need to do to improve our staff
engagement and motivation.
• We have asked each National and Regional Directorate to factor
organisational development thinking into their implementation
plans.

How we refer to the new structures
As we start to reflect the new structures and operating model it’s
important that we all start to use the new names for different parts of
our organisation.
• We now have four regional teams and these will operate on a
single level.
• The new 12 sub regions are now integrated into these new
regional teams. We should no longer to refer to area teams.
• A central team replaces the National Support Centre.
