Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships or 'STPs' have been formed from NHS and social care providers, commissioners, and local councils in 44 areas covering the whole of England to improve the care they provide. Proposals, known as 'Sustainability and Transformation Plans' have been developed that address the needs of the whole population of each area, rather than the needs of each individual organisation. STPs are fundamental to how care will be delivered and commissioned in the future and have recently been portrayed in the media as the vehicle for cuts to NHS services. Here we explore how accurate this is, how STPs vary in different areas, and the opportunities they present for dentistry to become more integrated with other NHS services.
可持续性与转型伙伴关系（简称“STP”）由国民保健服务体系（NHS）、社会护理提供者、医疗服务专员以及英格兰44个地区的地方议会共同组建，覆盖了整个英格兰地区，旨在改善他们所提供的医疗服务。名为“可持续性与转型计划”的提案已经制定出来，这些提案关注的是每个地区全体居民的需求，而非各个单独组织的需求。STP对于未来医疗服务的提供和委托方式至关重要，最近在媒体上被描述为削减NHS服务的工具。在此，我们探讨这种说法的准确性、不同地区STP的差异，以及它们为牙科与其他NHS服务实现更紧密整合所带来的机遇。
