NHS Long Term Plan – Next Steps

Jade Brooks Director of Operations Herefordshire Clinical Commissioning Group

The NHS Long Term Plan and the Next Steps

Find out more: www.longtermplan.nhs.uk

Background

In June 2018, the Prime Minister made a commitment that the Government would provide more funding for the NHS for each of the next five years, with an average increase of 3.4% a year. In return, the NHS was asked to come together to develop a long term plan for the future of the service, detailing our ambitions for improvement over the next decade, and our plans to meet them over the five years of the funding settlement. That plan has now been published.

Delivering the ambitions of the NHS Long Term Plan

To ensure that the NHS can achieve the ambitious improvements for patients, the NHS Long Term Plan also sets out actions to overcome the challenges that the NHS faces, such as staff shortages and growing demand for services, by:

• 1. Doing things differently
• 2. Preventing illness and tackling health inequalities
• 3. Backing our workforce
• 4. Making better use of data and digital technology
• 5. Getting the most out of taxpayers’ investment in the NHS

Clinical Priorities

In Herefordshire, we will:

• Work with our partners, e.g. Herefordshire Council, to tackle some of the most

significant causes of ill health, such as help people stop smoking, overcome drinking problems and avoid Type 2 diabetes, with a particular focus on the communities and groups of people most affected by these problems.

• Speed up Cancer diagnosis to 28 days from referral to diagnosis.
• Further develop programmes of improvement in Cardiovascular disease,

Cancer, Maternity, Mental Health, Stroke, Diabetes and Children and young people’s health.

Primary and Community Services

In Herefordshire, we will:

• Form five Primary Care Networks serving 30-50k people
• Actively manage population health and target support where needed.
• Develop multi-disciplinary teams in community services, offering rapid

response to those that need it.

• We are working across Health and Social Care as statutory agencies to

improve collaboration across local community services.

• This recognises that more people should receive earlier support to keep well

and self-manage, and people should receive support to recover at times of ill- health.

Mental Health Services

In Herefordshire, we will continue:

• Grow range of mental health services and offer improved access for people
• Continue to improve dementia care
• Improve crisis care (and early intervention)
• Develop mental health support for children and young people
• Greater access to talking therapies for people with mild and moderate mental

ill-health.

Acute Services

In Herefordshire, we will:

• Continue to look at ways to reduce pressures on Accident and Emergency

Department

• Continue to improve Same Day Emergency Care (diagnosis and treat on the

same day and discharge where appropriate to home or other place of care)

• Change how and where outpatients services are delivered
• Continue to reduce people waiting long times for treatments

Making better use of digital technology

The NHS will:

• provide more convenient access to services and health information for patients,

with the new NHS App as a digital ‘front door’;

• provide better access to digital tools and patient records for staff.
• Locally, we are supporting community services to use the same system. Digital

enabled care will develop from 2020. This will include GP consultation via telephone or online. Extra support to residents in care homes and advice to care home staff.

• Continue working with Herefordshire Council and community services to make the

most of assistive technology to support people within their own home.

Dementia Engagement Report Amy Chandler – Healthwatch Engagement Officer

Outline of the Project

Main Focus

• Experience of the journey from diagnosis / What to expect

after diagnosis / Experience across the whole pathway and living with the condition Additional Focus Point

• The public’s general awareness of dementia / raising

awareness and reducing stigma / Barriers to people seeking help with onset of memory issues and considering diagnosis Additional Focus Point

• People with a learning disability who have dementia

Findings

• Overall – generally positive comments
• Support following diagnosis
• Respite
• Carers
• Social care

Challenges with Engagement

• Some people living with advanced dementia aren’t

able to comment about their experience, so we relied

• n family members or carers. Family members are

harder to reach if people living with dementia are in a care home.

• The condition is still a difficult subject to talk about
• Accessing people who don’t want to access support

groups

• There

doesn’t appear to be a simple leaflet

• r

communication which can highlight the benefits to an early diagnosis to the public

Recommendations

• A single point of contact
• Varied methods of trusted information for families/carers
• Campaign to highlight benefits of an early diagnosis
• Easy information on planning for RESPECT care (Lasting Power of

Attorney, social care funding / CHC)

• Expanding on Dementia friendly communities (Hairdressers,

shops, banks etc)

• Increase in Meeting Centre models in areas such as Bromyard,

Ledbury & Hereford

• Support with form filling /education sessions for carers
• Thinking about respite in alternative ways

Links to further information about the different types of dementia are provided at the end.

‘Dementia describes a set of symptoms that include loss of concentration and memory problems, mood and behaviour changes and problems with communicating and reasoning. These symptoms

• ccur when the brain is damaged by certain diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, a series of small

strokes or other neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease’ ‘Prime Minister’s Challenge

• n Dementia 2020’

Prime Minister’s Challenge on Dementia 2020 Dementia is most common in people over the age of 65 but there are also a smaller cohort of people who develop ‘young onset’ or ‘working age’ dementia from as young as 35. For most people the cause is unknown but there are some known causes or risk factors such as:

• Diseases and infections that affect the brain e.g. Alzheimer’s disease or meningitis
• Pressure on the brain e.g. brain tumour
• Lack of blood and oxygen supply to the brain e.g. stroke and head injuries
• Cardiovascular insufficiencies.

There is clear evidence that the earlier into the disease that dementia is diagnosed the better the outcomes for those with the illness and their informal carers, it will help with decision making and preparing the individual and their family for choices they will need to make in the future.

• 2. What is dementia?

In Herefordshire and Worcestershire 1 in every 15 of population over 65 years have dementia 62% female: 38% male

• There are currently

12,456 people living

with dementia across Herefordshire and Worcestershire (this number is set to increase to 18.669 by 2035).

• 592 of these people have

early onset dementia.

It is estimated that there are 84,985 carers across H&W .

Early diagnosis and access to support for those living with dementia and their carers remains a priority for Herefordshire and Worcestershire. Our Strategy sets out our ambition to support people to live well with dementia. It reflects the national strategic direction outlined in The Prime Minister’s Challenge on Dementia which details ambitious reforms to be achieved by 2020. The Strategy is informed by what people have told us about their experiences either as a person living with dementia or as a carer and is written for those people; specifically those with memory concerns, those with a dementia diagnosis, their families and carers, communities and organisations supporting them.

Herefordshire and Worcestershire Dementia Strategy 2019-2024

Our vision is that in Herefordshire and Worcestershire people affected by dementia can live well through the following guiding principles: Our new strategy focuses on people and patients so that every person with dementia, their carers and families have access to and receive compassionate care and support not only during diagnosis but after diagnosis and through to end of life.

Preventing Well Diagnosing Well Supporting Well Living Well Dying Well

This strategy has been guided by principles developed by NHS England in their transformation

• framework. This ‘Well Pathway for Dementia’ is based on NICE guidelines, the Organisation for

Economic Co-operation and Development framework for Dementia and the Dementia I-statements from The National Dementia Declaration.

• 3. Vision, guiding principles and aim is dementia?

Person attending a Memory Morning Drop In “It was a friendly setting where I was able to talk freely about my concerns without family members talking for me.” Person with LD and dementia “I do like the signs and I want to put my photo on my bedroom door.” “Having support from a DA has reduced my anxiety and made me feel that I am not so dreadfully alone” “People really like the meeting centre as it runs for a good amount of time. For one gentleman, it gave his wife (carer) a break and he wishes there was more things like it where he could go on other days of the week.”

Family carer of person with LD “There is a definite change where my learning disabled daughter lives. I observe the person who has learning disability and dementia now listening to music through headphones, and the environment is dementia friendly. The rugs and patterns are all gone; the carers have really embraced the learning. The impact on other people who have a learning disability who live there is that they are more relaxed. They have stopped telling her to be quiet.”

“memory clinic referral went smoothly along with appointment was an overview of what to expect .. experience was good, ongoing support excellent we have a remarkable CDN” “Thank you so much for all the help you have given over the

• years. We would have

been lost without you.“ “'As always your support and advice is very much appreciated. You are such a help for people like us as individuals, and for the community as a whole”

Local Picture: What people have told us

Local Picture - what could be better?

Don’t forget that those with a diagnosis

• f dementia may have other health

issues , pathways must accommodate this as risk of overshadowing can occur without proper integration

We need to keep talking about dementia and all risk factors associated with it … Knowledge is Power ( Carer) “Professionals need to understand dementia can make people intolerant of waiting; noisy places but few have taken this on board” “Hard to find affordable, short-term, ad hoc respite – mother is settled at home and it would be better if someone could come to the home even if it was just for a few hours.” - Family member

Reach out to communities to address their negative attitudes towards living next door to someone with dementia & how they can support them – its not all about the staff/professionals. We all have a role to play in addressing stigma

Dementia can be a very lonely place, encourage open discussion and easier access to help available so that people are not scared of diagnosis and feel confident to make the necessary adjustments to live well “We need more drops- ins”. Lots of groups in the area but not enough coordination between them, for example, everything seems to happen at the same time/day. Support staff to develop knowledge skills and confidence in advanced care planning at an appropriate time for the person and their carer, and managing end of life when the time comes You will need to train your workforce to attune to the needs of younger, physically fitter people being diagnosed with dementia. How will they wish to be supported by you? People will expect to stay active, working and engaged in their community
