NHS Southwark CCG

Primary and Community Care Strategy

A summary for patients and local people October 2013

Why does Southwark need this strategy?

• NHS Southwark Clinical Commissioning Group is a

new organisation which started on 1 April 2013

• We are responsible for organising and paying for a

range of health services in Southwark including hospital services and services in community settings

• We are also responsible for improving health
• utcomes for all patients in Southwark, including

health services delivered by GP practices

• Our strategy describes how the CCG will carry out its

responsibilities relating to primary and community care in the new NHS

So why change now?

• Primary and community care health services are

under pressure

• Where appropriate, more services are moving from

hospital to community and primary care settings – we need to ensure these work together in an joined up way

• There is variability in the quality of service and

type of service that patients in different parts of borough receive

• We need financially sustainable local health

services for our patients

• We want a seamless NHS services for patients

How we developed

• ur strategy
• We talked to a lot of people in developing our strategy:
• The Primary and Community Care Strategy Steering Group led this

work and included local GP and nurse clinical leads, CCG staff, NHS England, Healthwatch and the Local Medical Committee

• We held a big public meeting in April with patients, local residents

and other key stakeholders

• We listened to patients views of primary care at Patient Participation

Groups and at our Engagement and Patient Experience Committee

• We talked to local GP practices at our Practice Locality

Commissioning Meetings and with the Local Medical Committee and

• ur local clinical GP and nurse leads
• We engaged with other local stakeholders such as Southwark

Council, the Southwark and Lambeth Integrated Care Programme and Community Health services

Key feedback

• Patients want to have an extended range of services

available at GP practices and pharmacies

• Services should be conveniently located and accessible
• Patients need to know how to access services and get

information to support self management

• GPs need not be the only way to be referred to other

services

• There should be stronger links with other types of care

/more integrated services

• Not all out of hospital services can be offered in every

practice or locality, service models need to take into account efficiency and best use of resources

• Need right workforce and IT in place

Strategic objectives

From looking at where we are and speaking to practices, patients and other stakeholders we have identified four strategic priorities which address the drivers for change:

Reducing variation Improving access Integration and better care coordination

Extending the range of services available in the community

Key proposals

Locality networks of care

• Involves GP practices working together to improve the

quality of service and outcomes for the registered population within the locality

• Is a way of organising the provision of services in future,

particularly additional services which are not commissioned as part of the core GP contract

Community specialist clinics / Community hubs

• Will provide more out of hospital care closer to patients'

homes

• Where services can be co-located where this makes

good clinical sense and is convenient for patients

How do we make this happen?

• We need to support changes to the way that people

and services currently work

• We need a development programme for GP practices
• n a locality basis
• We need to ensure that there are enough of the right

type and appropriately skilled workforce

• We need to identify sites where we can provide locality

based services and we need to fund these

• We need to determine how other community services

(e.g. district nurses and health visitors) work with the GP practices to make sure that patients receive the care they need

• Improved access to high quality health care

services

• More joined-up provision of care for patients

who require more than one service

• More consistent, better quality services provided

to patients

• Local GP and community services are better

equipped to manage increasing demands on health care services by working better together

What does this mean for patients?

Next steps

• Agree a programme of work focused on bringing

service providers together to deliver health services in a group

• Agree what services will be delivered in this way so all

patients can access the same core services no matter which practice they are registered at

• Start planning for all the above taking into account

feedback from patients, practices and other stakeholders
