Patient and Public Involvement • What forms of engagement make most sense in the City? • We want to agree an engagement strategy with our Children’s Board PPI Representatives, informed by our recent engagement work: • Children’s Disability Forum - current plans include: • Themed forum sessions – proposals include ADHD/learning difficulties/ Epilepsy/Autism and Asperger's/Mental and Physical Health of Parents and Siblings; sessions are expected to be supported by parent testimonies and professional advice • Discussion based open group Facebook page • Youth forum, working with creative arts organisations • Listening posts and feedback from other forums • “NHS Community Voices” meetings, including the “Education and Health Care Plan” meeting held in January 2016; plans to hold a session for young people in the spring • Need to review SEND / EHCP pathways, to include transition to adults services • Early years - engagement via Children’s Centres –intended to support cross health and social care engagement • Work with City Gateway- joining up our consultation and engagement work with established • forums well used by young people
City of London: Maternity Context • Approximately 110 women registered with a City GP (Neaman Practice) give birth each year. • Approximately 60 women residing in the City of London give birth each year. • The vast majority of these women receive their maternity care from University College London Hospitals (UCLH) – based in the London Borough of Camden / Camden CCG. • UCLH Maternity service as at January 2014 was rated by CQC as overall safe, caring, effective, responsive and well–led. • The main conclusions of the CQC inspection of maternity section showed that: • Staff were caring, attentive and professional in their roles. The women felt confident with the care provided. The wards were clean and safe and had good security measures in place to protect women and their babies. Most of the women that we spoke to told us they had positive experiences with the maternity care and felt confidence in the staff that cared for them. • Maternity services were being planned to meet the increasing demand by extending the number of beds and recruiting more staff. • There was insufficient evidence that all staff learned from incidents and complaints. There was a maternal death in the last year and it was unclear that the lessons learned from the incident had been shared. • Midwives were well supported. The ratio of supervisors of midwives to midwives was 1:16.
Maternity patient surveys • CQC use national surveys to find out about the experiences of people who receive care and treatment. • During the summer of 2015, a questionnaire was sent to all women who gave birth in February 2015 (and January 2015 at smaller trusts). • Responses were received from 184 patients at University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and 145 from Homerton. • The results from both Trusts are largely comparable to one another, including; • labour and birth results were worse for both Trusts compared to most other Trusts, • Staffing and care results were about the same as most other Trusts. • More detailed information can be found at: http://www.cqc.org.uk/content/maternity-services-survey-2015
Local patient and public involvement • Maternity Service Liaison Committee (MSLC) • We have used short term funding to buy in voluntary sector support (Social Action for Health) to deliver our maternity patient forum. The emphasis of their work has been on engaging new parents to hear their view on services and helping parents to influence change. This work started in June and has so far reached over 230 parents. • Walk the Patch • Our MSLC delivered a patient survey with over 70 brand new mothers and fathers on the Homerton postnatal ward. The report recommendations are being taken forward in our commissioning intentions for 16/17 e.g. • Reviewing waits, triage and the environment for women in labour • Developing projects on advocacy and language support and on compassionate care • Involvement in tenders • Our PPI reps have been involved in the development and approval of various short term funded projects. • In addition the reps were panels members for the appraisal of expressions of interests received for the MSLC and targeted antenatal class projects. • Maternity Programme Board • We continue to have MSLC patient representatives contributing at our board and now also have feedback from Social Action for health on emerging patient feedback themes at every meeting. • We have also reviewed a thematic report on complaints at the Homerton and will be doing this annually from now on.
C&H Maternity plans for 2016/17 • Improve pre-conception care for all women but particularly those with long term conditions and those with several relevant health issues (co-morbidities). • Identify medical, mental health and social risks earlier in pregnancy - by GPs delivering a new Early Years service that includes a dedicated appointment for women to confirm their pregnancy and discuss their needs as early as possible. • Promote and monitor early booking with maternity services (by 10 weeks) to improve outcomes of pregnancy, including timely screening. • Extend continuity of care (seeing the same midwife) into both the antenatal and postnatal periods, to ensure women can develop and maintain a relationship with their midwife. • Ensure we have high quality and safe maternity services; with the aim of reducing neonatal and maternal mortality and severe ill health in light of maternal deaths at the Homerton and the subsequent CQC inspections. This will be achieved by monitoring performance, clinical audits, external review and comparing outcomes to other hospitals.
Our plans continued • Ensure women have a good experience of care throughout the pregnancy, during labour and birth and after they’ve had their baby. • Ensure parents can help to shape and influence maternity services in City and Hackney, by listening to patient’s feedback and having a strong patient forum in place (Maternity Service Liaison Committee). • Improve the uptake of the flu and pertussis vaccinations in pregnant women to help stop preventable maternal and infant deaths and severe ill health. • Increase the number of normal births through promoting use of the Homerton birth centre (and home birth teams); emphasising that midwifery led settings are the safest options for women with low risk pregnancies. • Identify vulnerable families earlier and ensure they experience a smooth transition from maternity to early years services, with adequate support in place where needed and input from primary care.
Our plans continued • Joint Hackney Public Health & CCG Maternity Priorities • Improve joint working between Midwives, GPs and Health Visitors • Improve the uptake of healthy start vitamins in pregnant women and children. • Reduce smoking in pregnancy and improve referral rates for women who smoke and want support to stop. • City Priorities • Provide high quality services in the City to support maternal health, specifically: • Provide high quality perinatal care in the City of London • Assess and identify early maternal mental health concerns and offer subsequent support • Ensure that services are available for any teenage pregnancies in the City of London • All new births in the City are contacted by the Health Visitor • Targeted support for women from low income households to promote good maternal health • An annual birth characteristics report for the City of London
Long Term Conditions Programme Board Commissioning Intentions 2016/17
Our plans for 2016/17 • Continue to commission GPs to deliver extra high quality care for people with long term conditions including extra support and treatment targets such as blood pressure control • Continue work on our “virtual clinic” in conjunction with the renal team at Barts hospital for people with renal disease to help identify them early and prevent progression to dialysis or transplant • Provide peer support for people with long term conditions including those with diabetes and the orthodox Jewish community • Roll out the social prescribing service to all GP practices in City and Hackney to help tackle social isolation • Move any patient with a learning disability or autism who is in a long stay hospital out into the community, where it is safe to do so • Provide specialist rehabilitation programmes for those with specific conditions such as heart and lung problems • Support people with sickle cell disease to live full lives with input from psychologists and social care professionals
Patient and Public Involvement • Over the last year we have consulted with patients and the public in the following ways: • Patient representatives sit on our main Long Term Conditions programme board and many of our condition specific sub boards • Engagement with the public at events including the CCG’s Annual General Meeting, Winter Warmers and Self Care events on our plans and achievements and views on exercise groups at GP practices • Discussions on specific areas such as heart failure services with healthwatch and the Older People’s reference Group • Consultation with the CCG’s patient and public involvement on our plans and service developments • Attendance at community voice events to discuss specific topic areas, such as sickle cell disease • Review of patient experience surveys submitted by many of our services such as “time to talk”; heart failure and sickle cell. • We plan to continue discussion via all these mechanisms in the year ahead

Primary Care Quality Programme Board Commissioning Intentions 2016/17
Commissioning Primary Care Services • In City & Hackney, NHS England is responsible for the commissioning of core Primary Care services • The CCG can fund GP practices to improve the quality of existing primary care services provided that: • the improvement can be expected to improve wider outcomes for the CCG’s population; and • the area team agrees it is over and above what it would expect a GP practice to provide under its existing GP contract.
Improving Quality in Primary Care • Clinical Commissioning & Engagement Contract • The objective of this contract is to improve the quality of primary care and to ensure that effective and high quality services are consistent throughout City and Hackney. • This is done by giving GP Practices clear standards and quality requirements as well as supporting them through sharing good practice and evidence about what care works best for patients. • There are 20 domains in which practices are required to adopt certain best practice behaviours and carry out pieces of work, including: • In-house discussions of non-urgent referrals • Attendance to education sessions • Recording of duty of candour issues • Reviews of referral activity • Audits of care pathways • Historically, this contract has contributed to lower than London average referral rates to secondary care which means that more investment has been able to be made in primary care/community services – this directly impacts patients in that they are able to benefit from services closer to home and in community settings. • The contract has been in operation over the past 5 year. We plan to recommission this contract in 2016/17.
What else do we plan to do in 2016/17? • GP IT - support practices to run efficiently through effective IT support. We will commission services from NELCSU for: • IT support staff costs (NELCSU) • Helpdesk and engineers (IT support) • GP Systems of Choice (EMIS, Vision) • Project management (National IT programmes) • Management and reporting on IT service • Strategic management support • Asset management, IT procurement, software licensing • Overheads (e.g. hardware upgrades, servers, printers, network security) • Commission support from the Clinical Effectiveness Group - support clinical improvements in primary care through working with CEG to translate new initiatives and research on quality and clinical excellence into general practice in City & Hackney • Quality dashboard – continue to develop and update the primary care quality dashboard to allow identification of areas where practices may need additional support
Primary Care Strategy • This year, the Primary Care Quality Board has worked to develop a strategy for Primary Care in City & Hackney for the next 1-3 years. Following extensive consultation with our patients and the public, our members, and local stakeholder organisations, the strategy sets out that these are the aims we want to achieve for City and Hackney: • Be in the top 5 CCGs in London in terms of quality • Be an attractive place to work for existing and new primary care staff • Delivery of safe services • Services that are resilient by being productive, efficient, safe and value for money • Services that are the first port of call for highly quality, comprehensive patient support • Services that are accessible • Reduce health inequalities • In 2016/17 we plan to work in partnership with local stakeholders towards delivering the outcomes in line with the Primary Care Strategy.
Key Questions • How can patients contribute towards the quality and sustainability of primary care? • How can we communicate to the public that primary care in C&H is (generally) good? • What are your thoughts on: • Saturday morning opening / 7 day opening • Booking appointments online • Electronic consultations • Ordering prescriptions online • Are there other priorities ?
Prescribing Programme Board Commissioning Intentions 2016/17
Reducing Antimicrobial Resistance • Why • Antibiotic resistance is driven by over-using antibiotics and prescribing them inappropriately. Keeping levels of antibacterial prescribing low, by only prescribing antibiotics when appropriate, will help reduce the spread of the antibacterial resistance that can be a serious threat to patients who have infections that do not respond to antimicrobial drugs. • Broad spectrum antibiotics need to be reserved to treat resistant disease and should generally be used only when standard antibiotics are ineffective. • In 2015/16, NHS England set targets for CCGs to improve their antibiotic prescribing in primary care by: • Reducing the number of antibiotics prescribed in primary care • Reducing the proportion of broad spectrum antibiotics prescribed in primary care by 10%, or to be below 11.3% • Identified as a clinical priority in NHS Planning Guidance for Delivering the 5year Forward View Why? • Proposed Service Change • The Prescribing Programme Board will lead on this crucial Public Health issue through • Development of patient posters & leaflets promoting antimicrobial awareness in those languages most commonly spoken & read across C&H • Requirement for Practices to undertake 2 sets of Audits to show appropriateness/ prudence of antimicrobial prescribing • Supporting GP antimicrobial awareness education events & provision of training tools • Encouraging practices to reduce range & volume of antibiotic prescribing in line with national requirements • Recruiting a GP Antimicrobial lead to champion this workstream • Developing with Homerton Hospital, local antimicrobial guidelines
Prescribing for Learning & Disabilities • Why • In December 2012, the Department of Health (DH) publication “Transforming Care: A national response to Winterbourne View Hospital” highlighted concerns on the over-use of antipsychotic and antidepressant medicines and subsequently commissioned 3 pieces of work to be undertaken by Care Quality Commission (CQC) , Public Health England (PHE) and NHS Improving Quality (NHSIQ) • Following the publishing of these 3 reports, NHS England issued a letter in July 2015 to healthcare professionals calling for rapid & sustained action to be taken in order to tackle the over-prescribing of psychotropic drugs to people with learning disabilities after three separate reports highlighted the need for change. • In response to these findings, NHS England recommended that: • Healthcare professionals caring for people with learning disabilities assess and keep under review the medicines requirements for each individual to determine the best course of action for that patient, taking into account the views of the person wherever possible and their family and/or carer(s). • Services should have systems and policies in place for that patient to ensure that this is done safely and in a timely manner and should carry out regular audits of medication prescribing and management, involving pharmacists, doctors and nurses. • This is In line with the National Must-Do’s for 2016-17 in the Planning Guidance for Delivering the Forward View Why? • Proposed Service Change • A learning and disability audit would be undertaken by Practices to assess whether information relating to patient’s level of challenging behaviour, capacity to make decisions about their psychotropic medication and medication review have been recorded. • • The learning and disability audit will: • o Identify areas in which record keeping needs to be improved in order to determine the best course of action for that patient, taking into account the views of the person family and/or carer(s). • o Identify how to improve the management of prescribing medications in this group of patients. • o strengthen integrated pathways of care.
Domiciliary Medication Reviews • Why • Patients/public have given feedback that more time is required to discuss their medicines and also medicines wastage needs to be reduced. • A recent medicines review survey found that 83% of patients said that there was a need for more support to help manage their medicines better. • GPs have highlighted problems with medication use (including oversupply of medicines). • Findings from other areas in London who provide domiciliary medication reviews have shown positive results such as reduced acute hospital admissions and subsequent potential cost savings • Proposed Service Change • To provide a City and Hackney wide Domiciliary Medication Review (DMR) service by clinical pharmacists, ensuring there is an extensive medication review using patient records, evidence based guidelines and assessments of how medicines are used. This service will help vulnerable patients get the best out of their medicines • To extend this to practice based clinics for patients who are able to come to practices • To work with Practice Support Pharmacists in increasing the number of medication reviews • Proposed Implementation • The pilot DMR service started in January 2016 and will finish in March 2016. Two DMR pharmacists work closely with GPs, Community Matrons and PSPs to identify and provide support to the following high risk vulnerable patients: • Patients who have frequent hospital admissions • Patients on complicated medication regimens • Patients on ‘high risk’ medicines (e.g. warfarin, digoxin, antipsychotics, opioids, antihypertensives, injectable or medicines via feeding tubes, medicines requiring extensive monitoring) • Post review recommendations are discussed with patients and their GP. To ensure integrated care, other healthcare professionals are contacted if needed (e.g. social care, specialist nurses, community pharmacists) with the patients consent.
Disease-Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (DMARDs) • Why • Disease-Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (DMARDs) are a group of medicines that are used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. They are also used to treat other conditions such as chronic inflammatory skin or bowel disease. • DMARDs require regular monitoring as they can cause side-effects which can be serious therefore patients are required to have regular blood tests. • DMARDs have now been around for a number of years and there are an increasing number of patients being prescribed DMARDs. Currently, many patients continue to receive routine monitoring in the hospital which may be inconvenient for patients as prescribing is carried out by their GPs. • By enabling GP’s to carry out both prescribing and monitoring in the community, this would reduce the need for patients to have one set of appointments with GPs for their prescriptions and another set of appointments at a hospital for the monitoring of the drugs prescribed. Why? • Proposed Service Change • The aim is to review the options for a community based DMARD monitoring service for clinically appropriate patients prescribed a DMARD who have been stabilised in secondary care • The review will involve working collaboratively with secondary care and primary care colleagues and aims to look at the following: • improved patient access offering a more convenient service, with care offered closer to home and with reduced waiting times • strengthened integrated pathway of care • This review will be used to inform the CCG and determine a business model for 2017/18
Consultant Led Community Warfarin Service • Why • Currently, patients continue to receive routine care in the hospital and do not have equitable access to community based warfarin services • The current mechanism for warfarin service provision could be more cost effective • Proposed Service Change • The new Community Warfarin Service will be a comprehensive, community based, consultant led service for patients on warfarin • The new Community Warfarin Service will be delivered to all appropriate patients registered with GP practices in NHS City and Hackney CCG and will ensure equitable access and quality of service to the entire population group • The overall aims of the service are to improve patient access to safe and effective warfarin initiation and monitoring by providing a more convenient service, as close to patients’ homes as is appropriate, with reduced patient waiting times • Proposed Implementation • NHS City and Hackney CCG is undertaking a tendering exercise to identify a provider for a new Consultant led Community Warfarin Service • The new service is anticipated to start in autumn 2016
Patient and Public Involvement • The topic of medication reviews was presented & discussed at July 2015 Patient & Public Involvement Committee & also at the Older People's Reference Group (OPRG) in August 2015. The representatives of both groups were supportive of the concept of medication reviews and a patient & public engagement plan on the proposed service has been developed which includes: • Articles for newsletters for Healthwatch City and Healthwatch Hackney. • Patient survey using paper forms and Survey Monkey. • Presentations to local groups to obtain feedback, e.g. 50+; Community Voice and Barbican Tuesday Club • Stalls at the annual conferences for Healthwatch City, OPRG and Hackney Homes winter event.
