About North London Partners in Health and Care

• Our sustainability and transformation partnership (STP),

brings together health and care commissioners and providers across five boroughs

• We work together to provide joined-up health and care

across the area

• All partners are united behind a clear set of priorities,

based on the needs of local people

2

Improve the health of the local population Reduce health inequalities Maximise care

• ut of hospital

Ambitions of the STP

A partnership of the NHS and local authorities, working together with the public and patients where it’s the most efficient and effective way to deliver improvements.

Ambition for the STP is built on existing CCGs, Local Authorities and Providers values and strategy

3

Context Within the planned care workstream of the STP there are four MSK projects of which this review is one

Single point of access First contact practitioners Pain management Adult elective

About the review

• We think there may be opportunities to improve adult elective
• rthopaedic surgery in north central London by consolidating services
• nto fewer sites
• We are undertaking a review of these services to see if these

improvements can be achieved

• The review has been established by North London Partners in Health

and Care

• A review group led by local clinicians is coordinating the development of

how this kind of care could be delivered in the future

• Clinical commissioners will make decisions on where and how this

happens

• The review covers services in Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey and

Islington

5

Stages of the review

Stage 1 Engage to get feedback on the draft case for change Propose a service model describing how services might be delivered in future, informed by feedback Stage 2 Clinical commissioners consider the feedback from the engagement, agree a service model Produce a pre-consultation business case

What we want to achieve

Make efficiencies as a consequence of these improvements; value for money Improve quality and efficiency of services by reducing unwarranted variation Improve

• utcomes and

experience for patients

The benefits for patients

Less time spent in hospital

Much less risk of

• perations

being cancelled Shorter waiting times for an

Improved clinical

• utcomes

8

Principles underpinning this review

• Co-production (everyone working collaboratively)
• Evidence based service model (using evidence from trusted sources)
• Clinically led collaborative approach which enables meaningful

engagement with all stakeholders, particularly front line clinical staff and the public (people involved in delivering and receiving care)

• Independent experts to provide challenge and advice
• Sharing what we learn
• Clear separation of decision-making functions
• Flexible timelines to ensure we are properly engaging with

stakeholders and the public

Adult elective orthopaedic surgery

• In 2016/17, north central London hospitals carried out over

23,000 adult elective orthopaedic operations across 10 sites

• Adult elective orthopaedic surgery is planned (non-

emergency) surgery of bones and joints, such as hip and knee replacements

• There are already many areas of good practice in adult

elective orthopaedic care in north central London – falls prevention schemes, how people access musculoskeletal care, people staying in hospital for a shorter time

11

Adult elective

• rthopaedic surgery

currently takes place at ten different hospital sites in north central London Around 23,000

• perations each year

12

Opportunities for improvement

• Patients report different experiences and outcomes at different hospitals
• Some hospitals carry out small numbers of some operations, leading to inconsistent

approaches (ie - elective knee replacements in those who had an arthroscopy )

• Variation in ‘revision rates’ (ie – a follow-up procedure being needed if the first one

didn’t work as expected)

• Variations in the length of hospital stay, following an operation
• Readmissions vary (but are low) (ie– a patient who has been discharged is admitted

back to hospital)

• Infection rates vary (but are low)
• Waiting times vary and targets are being missed

13

Our current thinking

Learning from the best, we believe that by consolidating adult elective orthopaedic surgery from multiple hospitals to a smaller number of larger units we could further improve care.

Separate emergency and planned care

Elective surgery split from non-elective emergency surgery for efficiency and quality improvements Elective beds separated from non- elective beds to prevent cancellations and reduce the incident of hospital acquired infections

Expansion of ‘joint school’

improve quality of care through greater patient engagement and education leading to faster recovery and improved patient experience

Best possible after-care

for faster recovery better

• utcomes

less time in hospital

Co-located specialist high dependency unit

enables all cases to be done on one site

Access to innovations

such as robotic surgery likely to deliver better

• utcomes

Aiming for excellence

The International Society of Orthopaedic Centres considers a centre of

• rthopaedic

excellence meets the following criteria:

Source: www.isocweb.org

Performs more than 5,000

• rthopaedic

procedures each year Conducts and exhibits a commitment to basic and clinical research

Functions as an academic centre (i.e. has residents

• r fellows in

training)

Has orthopaedic staff of more than 20 surgeons who collectively publish more than five articles in peer reviewed publications

Is either a dedicated

• rthopaedic

specialty hospital

• r large

department within a hospital 15

Rationale supporting change

“Separating elective care from emergency pressures through the use of dedicated beds, theatres and staff can… achieve a more predictable workflow, provide excellent training

• pportunities, increase senior supervision of complex /

emergency cases, and therefore improve the quality of care delivered to patients”

The Royal College of Surgeons

16

Rationale supporting change

“there is evidence that separation of the elective surgical workload can improve efficiency and avoid the cancellation of elective activity. However, the efficiency gains can be affected by patient case-mix and demand. Evaluation of the operation of the independent sector treatment centres has also suggested separating elective surgical care from emergency services could improve the quality of care”

Ideas from around the country….

In South London they created SWLEOC – South West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre:

• surgeons from local hospitals use the centre for all

their planned routine procedures

• day cases take place at local hospitals
• all preoperative, post operative and emergency

care happens locally

• opened in 2004 – 14 years in operation

18

South west London GP on their experience with the South West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre

SWLEOC

The centre has revolutionised the management of joint surgery and has reduced the waiting time enormously

19

Ideas from around the country….

Manchester is exploring a ‘layered’ approach with:

• one ‘very specialist’ centre doing the most complex
• perations only
• two ’specialist’ centres doing complex and routine

care

• local hospitals doing routine care only

20

Experience and evidence from….

• The Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) report Separating Emergency and

Elective Surgical Care: Recommendations for practice (2007)

• GIRFT literature review
• National Orthopaedic Policy Unit
• Economies of Scale and Scope in Hospitals, July 2017
• Separate and Concentrate: Accounting for Patient Complexity in General

Hospital, July 2017

What do you think? Patients and residents

• 1. What are your views on our ideas?
• 2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of

consolidating onto fewer sites?

• 3. What are the top three considerations to take into account

when thinking about how these services are delivered in the future?

• 4. If you have used these services (or know someone who

has) please tell us whether the challenges set out in this draft case for change reflect those experiences?
