Our first year…

Our journey began with one simple question “I can’t get an appointment with my GP – how can you help me?”

5Slough Clinical Commissioning Group

Slough’s landscape…

• Diverse community where English is often not the first language

• An area of high need with significant deprivation & health inequality

• A quarter of children living in poverty

• Growing & ageing population (up 17.1% since 2001)

• Berkshire receives some of the lowest levels of health funding per head in the nation

Slough CCG has achieved improved health outcomes throughout the year in challenging circumstances and within budget

The Patient Voice…

We are committed to ensuring that the voice of the patient community is reflected in the design of the health services we deliver and commission

• All patients registered at a Slough practice

• GP appointments to 8pm, Monday to Friday and Saturday & Sunday from 9am to 5pm

• Delivered from four Cluster practices – Crosby House, Bharani MC, Farnham Road and Langley HC

• Very popular, well subscribed, mainly routine bookable appts., walk-ins also

• Sustainability: part-time GPs increasing their commitments

• Weekend and evening appointments look set to increase as a proportion of the general practice total – the times suit many people

Diabetes…

• Slough has above national average rates of diabetes – there are approx. 9,000 patients in Slough with the condition

• Type 2 diabetes is six times more prevalent in people of South Asian origin

• It is predicted that by 2030 up to 14% of the population will have diabetes

Slough Clinical Commissioning Group 14

How did we tackle the issue?• Mentorship Programme established to help ‘upskill’ the 16 practices

across Slough• Dedicated nurse-led clinics to help guide and train primary care

practitioners• A key diabetes contact in each surgery for patients to get specialist advice• Support from PPGs to provide support and encourage self-management

This resulted in:

• A target of a 5% uplift in the number of controlled diabetes population being met and exceed by all but one practice

• A 7.2% increase in BP control• A 3.56% increase in total cholesterol control

Slough CCG is now ranked No. 2 out of 211 in England in delivering the eight care processes in diabetes – a significant achievement

A&E pressures (Wexham Park)…

Slough Clinical Commissioning Group 16

Winter campaign…

Slough Clinical Commissioning Group 17

The result?

A 0.6% increase in A&E attendance from Slough patients v. a population increase of 2% in a setting in which use of A&E nationally is increasing much faster

Slough Clinical Commissioning Group 18

• Federated Quality Committee – three CCGs

• Concerns re: Maternity, Stroke & A&E parameters and performance, & others

• Raised through the quality mechanism to CQRG level

• CQC unannounced inspection of HWPH, reports, Assurance Process

• Currently seeing significantly improving performance in some areas

• Slough CCG provided additional GP appointments over the winter period – made possible through savings via the expertise of our prescribing team, re-invested in GP appointments, whilst delivering improvement in the quality of our prescribing

Quality Concerns at HWPH & Prescribing Advisor Team initiatives

New services and improving the patient experience…

• Maternity – by implementing an experience-led commissioning approach and listening to patients we have allowed this to influence our commissioning strategy and achieved improvements in the quality of care and patient satisfaction

• Better Care Fund - strong partnership working with our partners e.g. Slough Borough Council and HWB on the agreement of the Better Care Fund.

• Physiotherapy – by de-commissioning and re-commissioning a new provider we have a much enhanced, faster and more comprehensive service in place

• Community Gynaecology Clinic – this has enabled faster access to treatment and an improvement in patient choice and convenience.

Slough Clinical Commissioning Group 20

Going forward…

• Continuation of PMCF, roll-out of eleven related projects

• Frimley Park acquisition of Heatherwood & Wexham Park: support the agreement, monitoring of quality

• The frail older patient: home treatment teams, whole system change

• Asthma Care: high admission rates, national outlier, two child deaths, poor levels of understanding of asthma management, and compliance with inhaler treatments and personalised asthma management plans. Supernovas.

• Cancer care: the 2-week-wait referral system, End-of-Life care

• Stroke Care: unsatisfactory aspects – performance needs to improve

• Technology Enabled Care Services (TECS): Quality Working Group of NHSE
