What are we trying to do?

• Develop a Local Strategy that • brings together national, regional and local policies and strategies • provides a framework for local organisations delivering health and health care to work within • Ensures future health services that make sense clinically and make sense to communities

Background and Policy Context

• The “Our NHS, our future” review by Lord Darzi, published on 30 June 2008 • West Midlands Investing for Health 2007-2012, published on 3 June 2008 • Recent Plans in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin • Strategic Service Plan, 2006 • Service Changes in Primary Care, Community Services and Older People Mental Health • Vision for Health Improvement and Healthcare in Shropshire 2008 – 2018 • Telford and Wrekin Health Commissioning Plan 2008-2013

Developing the Strategy:

• Clinically Led • Patient and Community Engagement • Interim Report in May 2008 • Final Report in October 2008

Guiding Principles

• Making Sense Clinically • Health, Well Being and Equity • Quality, Safety And Effectiveness • Supporting and Developing the Workforce • Making Sense to the Communities We Serve • Involving People in Making Decisions about their future Health Services • Affordable, Sustainable, Fit for Purpose • Personalised Services and Access to Care, Closer to Home

The interim report:

Health of the Population

increasingly number of elderly people prevalence of long term conditions (Shropshire) mortality rates from circulatory disease, smoking and teenage conception rates (Telford and Wrekin) rising levels of obesity

Clinical Viability

ability to provide high quality emergency care out of hours developing specialist services recruitment and staffing issues EWTD, attractive jobs, training

Access to Services

rurality and deprivation services closer to home balance of services across communities, and between RSH and PRH

Financial Viability

healthcare costs of elderly population opportunity cost of subsidising access cost of duplication of services the estate

Strategic Objectives:

• The prevention of disease and the promotion of healthy lifestyles and independent living • investing in health promotion and promoting healthy lifestyles • working with partners and stakeholders • Services at home or as close to home as possible • expanded role for community hospitals, GP practices, community nursing etc.

• Sustainable and accessible acute hospital services • services closer to home where possible and concentration of services for seriously ill and injured onto one site

What does this system look like?

Prevention of Disease and Promotion of Healthy Lifestyles Self Management Primary Medical and Community Services Specialist Primary and Community Care

Advanced Primary Care Services Community Hospitals

Acute Specialist

Looking ahead to 2012/13 – making it happen

• Invest in health promotion and prevention of disease • Take forward closer to home initiatives • Implement Pathway Development Group Models of Care • Emergency Services – Vascular to one site (RSH) – Reshape trauma to give concentrate major trauma at one site (RSH) – Reshape surgery to ensure acute surgery on both sites – Develop acute medicine and Hospital at Night – Anaesthetic/critical care integrated working • Paediatrics – Paediatric Hospital at Home – Assessment centres – In patient paediatrics onto one site • Elective Surgery – Relocation of some elective to PRH

2020 Vision for Sustainable Acute Hospitals:

Scenario 1:

No change

. We fail to address the challenges we face, so health services increasingly drift out of the area. We are unable to invest successfully in providing more care closer to home and improving health.

Scenario 2:

Minimum change in acute hospital services at RSH and PRH

. The impact of this is that much less investment is available to strengthen community services, community hospitals, care closer to home and health promotion. Also, there is a risk that this is effectively Scenario 1 as by doing this we do not really address the challenges we face.

2020 Vision for Sustainable Acute Hospitals:

Scenario 3: We invest in more care closer to home including primary care, health centres, GP practices, community hospitals and in people’s homes. We also focus more resources on improving health and reducing health inequalities. In order to ensure the safety and sustainability of acute hospital services in the medium term then

these need to focus on either RSH or PRH

(with different services focusing on different sites).

Scenario 4: We invest in more care closer to home including primary care, health centres, GP practices, community hospitals and in people’s homes. We also focus more resources on improving health and reducing health inequalities. In order to ensure the safety and sustainability of acute hospital services then we develop

a new hospital between Shrewsbury and Telford as the major emergency centre for the area

services.

. RSH and PRH continue to provide a range of planned surgery and diagnostic

Investing for Health – key messages:

From reaction to prediction:

• work with patients, staff, carers, partner organisations and the public to provide a service that ‘adds years to life and life to years’ • aim to achieve levels of care comparable to the best in the world by transforming services from reacting to patients to being driven by them • deliver patient-centred care of the highest quality and also a step-change towards great management of population health and support for people to manage their own health.

“Next Stage Review” – key messages:

• • • • • • • • • A new NHS Constitution – consultation until 17 October 2008 Measuring quality right across the service and publishing that information for the first time Focussing on patient experience – the whole experience and rewarding improvements A new right to the latest drugs approved by NICE, and the speeding up of the process to look at new drugs and treatments.

Care plans for 15 million patients with a long-term condition, including piloting new personal budgets.

Transforming our concept of health, so that there is far more focus on prevention.

Freeing up the local NHS staff to use their expertise, to develop services needed in their area.

Faster diagnosis and patients will be able to have blood tests, scans and other checks in health centres rather than having to go to hospital for repeated visits.

Longer preceptorship, raising standards of care on the ward.

The Journey Ahead

• Detailed Plans to implement PDG Models of Care • ‘Challenged’ Services – 5 year plan to maintain acute surgery on two sites – 5 year plan anaesthetics/critical care on two sites – location of single inpatient paediatrics facility – workforce plans • 2020 Vision: Option appraisal

The Journey Ahead

Robust Engagement:

This will include: • Ongoing engagement with patients, communities, staff and partner organisations It may lead to: • Formal consultation • Review by Health Overview and Scrutiny Committees It could also include: • Referral to Independent Reconfiguration Panel • Judicial Review

Making Sense Clinically

Clinical Engagement (1)

• Locally , PCTs, on behalf of the populations that they serve, should challenge providers to achieve high quality care.

Making Sense Clinically
