Elective Reform and Transformation Programme

Cheshire and Merseyside Provider Collaborative’s Elective Reform and Transformation Programme is a partnership between Cheshire and Merseyside’s acute and specialist NHS providers.

It supports the delivery of the national NHS Operational Planning priorities and longer-term transformation, in line with the NHS 10 Year Health Plan.

By bringing Cheshire and Merseyside trusts together with their wider NHS partners, the programme makes services more joined up, ensuring that NHS resources are used more effectively and improving outcomes for patients.

Through the transformation of referral processes and outpatient services, it aims to bring waiting lists down, providing high-performing elective (planned, non‑emergency) healthcare for all patients, regardless of where they live within Cheshire and Merseyside.
