Changing the narrative about health and wellbeing

Working with the grain of a new system

Other staff in place
•
Ring fenced grant known for 2 years: range of ‘winners’ and ‘losers’

Contracts safely novated, but Boroughs now wanting to review

All HWBBs have draft strategies, but many with revisit

Move now from transition to transformation

Protecting London from harm…
Our own work and discussions with stakeholders have suggested we need to work with
partners to:
5
•
Understand how the new system can tackle TB and the on-going isoniazid resistant
outbreak in North London
•
Support borough colleagues take up their role dealing with HIV/AIDS and sexually
transmitted infections
•
Scope how we can address the continued low vaccination coverage in many of our
communities, building on the significant improvements in recent years
•
Address imported infections such as typhoid, pandemic influenza and malaria
•
Introduce new vaccines: rotavirus, shingles and extension of the flu vaccine to
children
•
Develop a strategic approach with national colleagues to addressing the growing
problem of antimicrobial resistance

Supporting local action on drugs & alcohol
PHE London will support boroughs by:
6
•
Helping new local leads in their understanding of the alcohol and drug treatment
system
•
Providing co-designed support to those partnerships whose successful completion
for opiate users are falling behind
•
Helping them enhance their links between treatment services and a wide range of
social, offender related, mutual aid and recovery organisations
•
Improving the recovery orientation of the workforce and treatment system with a
particular focus on primary care
•
Working effectively with NHS England to support drug treatment in prisons
•
Supporting the roll out of identification and brief advice for alcohol users across
London
•
Supporting the increased availability of alcohol liaison nurses and the improvement
of local alcohol treatment
London Public Health Knowledge & Intelligence Network
Advice to health commissioning
Our priorities for this year include providing:
7
•
Public health advice and support to the management of Individual Funding
Requests (IFRs) for specialist services. This includes undertaking or scoping
literature reviews as necessary and liaising with IFR Public Health Leads in the
other Regions to share information and good practice so as to avoid duplication and
ensure consistency with the NHS England’s ethical framework.
•
Input into the national Clinical Reference Groups who are developing products to
support the commissioning of specialised services (e.g. service specifications and
commissioning policies).

Supporting local action on health and
wellbeing
Local government teams have asked for help with:
8
•
Outstanding issues associated with the transition of public health to boroughs (e.g.
access to patient identifiable information)
•
Providing best practice information for when they review or renew contracts (e.g.
evidence-based service specifications)
•
Responding to calls from local authority colleagues requesting public health support
in areas with which they are not familiar (e.g. input into licensing decisions)
•
Developing frameworks for translating their public health priorities into local authority
areas of activity (e.g. how does promoting physical exercise and mental health
translate into urban planning?)
•
Supporting the DsPH new leadership group led by Jeanelle DeGruchy and Andrew
Howe with its joint programme
London Public Health Knowledge & Intelligence Network
Supporting local action on health and
wellbeing
Specific areas that are priorities for London boroughs and Health and Wellbeing Boards,
and where they may need support, include:
9
•
Health inequalities: responding to the economic recession
•
Public health aspects of housing, transport, environmental issues and other wider
determinants of health
•
Sexual health and the work boroughs are doing collectively on HIV prevention
•
Obesity, physical activity and capturing the legacy from the 2012 Games
•
Mental health and wellbeing
•
Alcohol
•
Tobacco control
•
Oral health

University of East London

•
Supporting the NHS in London on screening and immunisation
•
Dental public health

London-wide responsibilities

Forming strong links with local government
A productive relationship between PHE and local government will be achieved not just in
terms of what we provide but how. PHE will therefore work with London boroughs in a
way that ensures:
11
•
PHE provides evidence of good public health practice, not policy documents
•
Major pieces of work are co-designed with DsPH before they are begun
•
Outputs can be tailored to individual local circumstances and cover economic impacts
•
We do not assume that all boroughs are the same, have the same priorities or
delivery mechanisms
•
There is a clear timetable of when materials are to be made available so local teams
can plan their own work
•
Advance notice if possible of major announcements to be made by PHE that are of
relevance to local practitioners
