COVID-19 VDP Transformation
The VDP was created as a DHSC programme within NHSE, with no established reporting, governance or standard ways of working. People and teams were brought together from a wide range of organisations to begin to develop a plan that would enable deployment and administration when a vaccine became available.
IHS was commissioned early in the development of NHSE’s COVID-19 Vaccination Deployment Programme (VDP) to provide teams to support and lead end-to-end planning, delivery and administration across a range of areas including finance and modelling.
This involved working alongside key strategic partners including NHSEI, Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), Her Majesty’s Treasury (HMT), Local Authorities, the military and CSUs.
