SWNODN Governance

The South West Neuromuscular Operational Delivery Network (SWNODN) is one of a series of Operational Delivery Networks (ODNs) in the South West of England.  

The SWNODN is specifically responsible for the care of individuals with a neuromuscular condition in the South West, and currently is the only one of its kind in England.   We work within the boundaries of the following Clinical Commissioning Groups:

• NHS Bath & North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire CCG (this includes the merged NHS Bath and North East Somerset CCG, NHS Swindon CCG and NHS Wiltshire CCG)
• NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire CCG
• NHS Devon CCG
• NHS Gloucestershire CCG
• NHS Kernow CCG
• NHS Somerset

​We are required to clearly demonstrate we are contributing to the five domains of “The NHS Outcomes Framework 2016/17” through our Network Work Programme and Annual Reports.  The SWNODNs detailed aims and objectives are linked to the NHS Standard Contract for Neurosciences:  Specialised Neurology (adult) (Annexe B) and these will be planned and prioritised by the SWNODN Executive Board.
