- Decision
- Carried
This conference welcomes the advent of Managers in Partnership (MIP) which was highlighted as an innovation in the provision of trade unionism. The venture between UNISON and the First Division Association has created a new vehicle for senior managers in the health service and related services, and conference acknowledges the excellent work performed by the steering group.
Since the launch of MIP on 6th June 2005, the organisation has exceeded its targets for recruitment and it is involved in a number of high profile issues and campaigns (e.g. PCT/SHA reconfiguration.) However, in order to evolve in the ever changing environment of healthcare, MIP requires the support of its founding organisations and this conference calls for closer links to be formed with the relevant sections of UNISON. These will include:
(a)Branches
(b) the Service Group Executive
(c) National Sector Committees (especially Senior Managers & Administrative
& Clerical)
(d)Regional Health Care Service Group Committees
