What is the Problem?
• Increase in demand and activity
• Patient population
• High rates of organisational change
• Short term relationships
• Pressures to see more patients
• Long shifts / issues with IT
• Reported problems with patient experience across London
The Royal Marsden
Patients’ experiences are a mix of the ‘what’ (T) and the ‘how’ (R)
– Respect for values, preferences, and expressed needs (R)
– Coordination and integration of care (T)
– Information, communication, and education (T+R)
– Physical comfort (T)
– Emotional support (R)
– Welcoming the involvement of family and friends (T + R)
– Transition and continuity (T)
– Access (T)

What do we mean by Quality Care: Personalised Care?
(Professor Jessica Corner, Dr. Jocelyn Cornwell)
The Royal Marsden
Staff Engagement and care The evidence
• Quality of staff experience precedes quality of patient experience (Maben et al 2012
• Analysis of national staff & patient experience surveys: the two sets of experience are related (Raleigh
et al 2010)
• Management & quality of HR practice linked to mortality and other quality measures (West et al (2009)
• National impetus – Out of Hospital care - however
• 2012 It felt that Community Nurses had been forgotten, much concentration nationally on HVs but not Community Nurses.
The Royal Marsden
Community Nursing profile grows across London.
– Involved in the successful bid for education across all three LETBs for Community Nursing £360,000

– Successfully provided Health visiting response to extend 6 day services (fully funded)
– Excellent communication with Chief Nurses across London supporting each other in leading new services.
– The Chief Nurse NHS E (London) focused, supportive and has invested in raising the profile and awareness of community nurses.
The Royal Marsden

– Quality & Safety CNS

The Royal Marsden
Building a Leadership team: Community Rapid and
Intensive Support Integrated Service (CRISIS) Nurse
Consultant CRISIS Team
– Greater integration of the Community teams associated with the prevention of the avoidable attendance and admission of people to hospital and the provision of intensive discharge support for people at home and within intermediate care bedded facilities.
– These teams will be incorporated within the Community Rapid and Intensive Support Integrated Service (CRISIS) and be the focus for unplanned and intensive care.
– A Nurse Consultant will commence in March 2015 to be the overall clinical lead as well as the professional nursing lead for CRISIS, supported by professional leads for physiotherapy and occupational therapy.
The Royal Marsden
The world of the Nurse Consultant In the hospital
– Prevention of avoidable admission via A&E & AMU/CDU
– Intensive supportive discharge via A&E, AMU, CDU & Inpatient Wards
– Community Nursing Liaison Service (In -reach) at SGH & St Helier’s Hospital, 5 - 7 days per week
In the community
– Prevention of avoidable attendance at A&E – Provision of intensive support for people going to
intermediate care beds rather than going to hospital & intensive supportive discharge to home or intermediate care beds
With Social Care – Facilitating the integration agenda

Community Teams
The Challenge
From:
four District Nursing Teams (18+ caseloads)
one Community Physiotherapy Team
one Community Occupational Therapy Team; and
one Community Matron team
To:
Six multidisciplinary locality based integrated
Community Teams
And pilot social care and mental health integration
The Approach
Staff buy in and
engagement
Listen…..…really listen
“if you don’t tell me, how
will I know?”
The small stuff matters
Driven by front line staff….
• Six Geographically Based Teams
• Team Leader, Community Matrons,
Therapists, District Nurses and Community
Staff Nurses, HCA’s and Phlebotomists
• Each Team is supported by a team
coordinator and admin support
• The Willows running an extended pilot with
a CPN (Oxleas)and a Social Care Manager
(LBB)
Patient focused coordinated care….
“Prior to our first multi-disciplinary meeting I had the usual reservations about whether the whole thing
might collapse at the outset. However our first whiteboard meeting went very well and it became
immediately apparent that this way of working had enormous benefits for patients. It was a joy
to pull together clinical experience from across professions and to work together in developing care
plans for our most complex patients.
It’s what nursing and caring for patients in the community is all about.” Betty, Integrated
Community Team Leader
Critical Learning Points
• Don’t forget the small things
• Team Leader role is not easy
• Remember the existing pressures
• There are some quick wins, but true integration
takes time and culture change
• Leadership at ALL levels is key
Still a long way to go
• Using technology – EMIS – building the system
and templates to support integrated working
• Wider Integration
• Social Services
• Mental Health
• Baseline of core skills
• On-going leadership development
