OVER TO YOU! BUILDING ON THE WORK OF WIPP

AIM OF THE SESSION

• Identify the national drivers for change

• Understand how WiPP resources support general practice to develop strategies to meet the challenges of these drivers

• Know how to access the WiPP resources and apply the tools to your practice to make changes in your practice to improve the service

DEMANDS ON CAPACITY ….

• Over 300 million consultations in primary care each year

• Over 15 million people in England with long term health needs. Every decade that number could increase by a million

• 45 million outpatient appointments each year; in some specialties up to 50% could be provided in a community setting

• 5% shift in services from acute to primary care

• Extending opening hours was the most popular improvement to primary care

‘Patients have told me that… they want care to fit into their lives, not have to fit their lives around the care they receive’.

‘A personalised NHS must be tailored to the needs and wants of each individual, especially the most vulnerable and those in greatest need, providing access to services at the time and place of their choice’

NHS NEXT STAGE REVIEW: Interim report

To help make care more personal, patient choice should be embedded within the full spectrum of NHS funded care, going beyond elective surgery into new areas such as primary care and long term conditions:

• New resources should be invested to bring new GP practices (whether they are organised on the traditional independent contractor model or by new private providers) to local communities where they are most needed, starting with the 25% of PCTs with the poorest provision

• Newly procured health centres in easily accessible locations should be offering all members of the local population a range of convenient services, even if they choose not to be directly registered with GPs in these centres

• PCTs should introduce new measures to develop greater flexibility in GP opening hours, including the introduction of new providers. Our aim is that, over time, the majority of GP practices will offer patients much greater choice of when to see a GP, extending hours into the evenings or weekend.
