Local areas are responsible for engaging with the staff, patients and the public, as well as organisations which may include university providers, to further develop their plans.

Some examples of this work include:

- Gloucestershire Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP) is taking a whole-system approach to obesity working with Leeds Beckett University and Public Health England; and

- Surrey Heartlands STP is working with the University of Surrey and others to develop a clinical academy so clinicians can work together and agree common standards so all local residents have access to the same high quality standards of care.

Health Education England is working with STP leads to ensure workforce and training requirements are considered through the STP process.
