Why engage with patients?
Patient engagement forms an integral part of this case for change.
It is important to ensure that the patient voice is represented when considering how services could be improved.
It is not possible to identify how services can be improved without seeking input from those with direct experience.
Patient engagement activity to date
• • • The project has sought the views of patients and their families / carers on their experiences of specialised burns services, in a variety of ways including: Two dedicated patient stakeholder events – one in London and one in Aylesbury.
Facilitated workshops at stakeholder events.
One to one focussed interviews led by Changing Faces.
All of the feedback received has been used to inform the development of the case for change.
• • • • • • • •
Key themes arising from patient feedback
Feedback received at each event was generally consistent with a number of key themes: The importance of equitable clinical care.
Support for, and the role of, carers and family members.
The importance of psychological support.
The importance of communication and information.
The importance of relationships with staff.
The challenges of transition of care from child to adult services.
Referrals, accessibility and system gaps.
Variable discharge and availability of aftercare.
What did patients say?
These are some extracts from patients, commenting on their experiences of specialised burn services in London and South East England
“Carers [and patients] have to be assertive to get the help they need.” “Knowing that there was a specialist team was really reassuring – we just assumed that she would be treated at her local hospital.” “Aftercare is a bit hit and miss” and “[there is] a “big gulf between hospital and home.” “The options available were excellent… I was consulted on [the] different types of painkillers available” “I really can’t praise the staff enough – you build relationships with them and start to get to know them.
” “Support with the way I look was poor. I had been an inpatient for a long time and although I had access to a psychologist, what I needed was someone who could take me out (into society) step by step, just for a coffee or to do some shopping, to make it easier.” “Going onto the adult’s ward was like ‘starting again’ .” “There was always someone on hand to provide help or information.” “The referral system seems to be quite complicated and difficult to navigate.”

Summary and findings
Feedback received during the development of the case for change is presented in full in
Specialised burns services project: Patient engagement and feedback summary report
.
Feedback received from patients highlights that there are differences in the care provided at current services and that there remain areas for improvement. There was an overwhelming feeling from patients that co-ordination of care, links with other agencies and effective MDT working were very important.
We are committed to continuing to engage with patients throughout this process.
Further stakeholder engagement activities will be planned during each phase of the project, to ensure that patients’ needs and views are considered and incorporated into recommendations made.

Background
2001
National Burns Care Review (NBCR) and injury referral guidelines published
2003
National Burn Care Group (NBCG) established to take forward recommendations made by the National Burn Care Review
2004
National Burn Care Standards published
2006
London & South East of England Burn Network (LSEBN) established Interim configuration of services agreed
2009
Peer review assessments conducted at 3 of the 4 specialised burn services in London and the South East
Specialised burn services structure
• • •
Burn facilities (BF)
caring for people with minor burns linked with local plastic surgery services.
Burn units (BU)
providing regional level services caring for patients with a burn of moderate size and/or moderate complexity.
Burn centres (BC)
supra-regional services caring for patients with the most complex injuries.
Current service provision
• • • • • • •
Challenges in London and South East England
• Accessibility for the population served.
Gaps in service provision.
Capacity – total capacity is adequate, but is not necessarily located in the right place.
Non compliance with national standards.
Lack of key onsite support services.
Lack of outreach services. Lack of recognised services to manage less severe burn injury.
Risk of inability to cope with infection outbreak or major incident.
Demand and capacity
• • Evidence shows that the incidence and prevalence of burn injury increases in line with increasing levels of deprivation.
Current services are not positioned in areas of greatest need.
Gaps in service provision
Activity at non specialised burn services over a 5 year period
450 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 • • •
Trust name
Data shows a high number of hospital admissions to non specialised burn services.
This may be attributable to the current distances between specialised burn services and gaps in the north eastern part of the network.
It is likely that some patients may not be receiving optimal care as a result.
Patient flows
• • Evidence shows that prevalence of burn injury increases with increasing population density.
Currently, three out of four providers take a significant proportion of their patients from London.

Supporting the delivery of care
Key components:
•
Workforce
– Evidence suggests that consultant led services improve outcomes.
– Current services do not meet national recommendations for consultant cover.
– – Lack of specialised burns nurses.
Lack of provision for surgical training in specialised burn care.
•
Network working
– Lack of support for local hospitals and emergency departments.
– – Lack of outreach services to improve access to care.
Links with other agencies to need to be improved to ensure good follow up care and care of patients with long term health needs. •
Major incident planning and infection outbreak
– Capacity is potentially in the wrong place to cope with a major – incident.
Limited capacity to cope with outbreaks of infection.
Financial sustainability
The NHS has a responsibility to ensure that services are financially sustainable, deliver high quality care and provide value for money.
Challenges in ensuring the financial sustainability of specialised burn services: • Disparity in cost of care at different services.
• Variances in cost of care across PCTs.
• Lack of quality measures to audit quality of care provided.
• Lack of national tariff for specialised burn care.
Summary
• Issues and challenges facing current services need to be considered in line with the national and local strategic context • Current services do not comply with appropriate care standards and national recommendations • The network of care does not work as effectively as it could do • There are gaps in service provision in some areas of the network and a lack of provision for the treatment of minor burn injuries • Some patients are travelling too far to access the care they need • The way that specialised burn care in London and South East England is delivered must change in order to improve services for patients

Introduction
The purpose of this session is to introduce the concept of a model of care and to invite discussion and feedback on the development of a model of care for specialised burn services in London and South East England. There will be three parts to this session: 1.
2.
3.
Overview and background.
Discussion sessions.
Feedback from groups and further opportunity for questions.
• • • • • •
Key themes from the case for change
• Capacity – total capacity is adequate, but is not necessarily located in the right place.
Gaps in service provision in some areas. Accessibility and travel times for patients. Lack of recognised services for the treatment of minor burn injuries.
Current services do not comply with national standards and the requirements identified by the co-dependencies framework.
Lack of adequate provision of training in specialised burn care.
Lack of outreach services and links with other agencies.
Components of the Model of Care
The model of care will be comprised of the following: • Review and evaluation of existing national and international service models to determine the most appropriate service model.
• Recommendations for improvements to service delivery.
• A range of potential configuration options (non site specific/ no geographical locations).
• Care pathway aligned to the agreed service model.
Existing service models
• Reviews of existing service models in other healthcare systems: – Europe – – United States Australasia – Other developing countries • Conclusions drawn from literature on existing service models: – need for a regional and integrated approach for patients with serious burn injury – – – – centralisation of burn injury services to improve expertise and ensure good clinical outcomes service delivery through formal clinical networks integration with trauma systems/ networks access should be optimised for populations where need is greatest
Proposed service model
• • •
Burn facilities (BF)
caring for people with minor burns linked with local plastic surgery services.
Burn units (BU)
providing regional level services caring for patients with a burn of moderate size and/or moderate complexity.
Burn centres (BC)
supra-regional services caring for patients with the most complex injuries.
• • •
Model of care discussion session 1
In this session we would like you to consider answers to the following: What are the key elements of an effective network of care for specialised burn services?
How could/ should an effective network of care for specialised burn services be supported?
What are the potential challenges to the development/ delivery of an effective network of care for specialised burn services?
• • • • • Specifically, tell us How patients should move through the system.
Which teams should be involved in on going and follow up care.
The role of technology in supporting the care pathway.
How should communication with patients work?
At which points will the model differ for adults and children?
London and South East England Specialised Burns Project Group feedback: Model of care discussion session 1
Developing the configuration options
A process will be designed to decide how many services will be needed at each level.
Part of the model of care will outline the range of potential configuration options, based on the three tier model (non site specific and no geographical locations).
Example A: 2 centres: 1 adult and paediatric centre (co-located) and 1 adult centre (no paediatrics) Example B: 3 centres: 2 adult only centres. 1 adult and paediatric centre (co-located)
• The number of centres will dictate the number of units and facility level services required. • A number of options will assessed in order to identify an appropriate range.
Evaluating factors
We have identified some factors which will influence the range and suitability of potential configuration options.
Clinical factors: – Ideal patient throughput (minimum and maximum).
– Size of population served. This will give us the
optimum number
of centres. Additional factors: – Provision of services for adults
and
children?
– – – – – Resilience in the event of a major incident.
Value for money.
Access – to the specialised service at the time of injury.
Access – for follow up and ongoing care. Workforce considerations
The configuration of specialised burn services is one that should ensure it meets the health needs and requirements of the population.
