3rd Patient Flow Congress: The Strategy for Urgent and Emergency Care

Each year the NHS provides around 110 million urgent same-day patient contacts. Approximately 85 million of these are urgent GP appointments, and the rest are A&E or minor injuries-type visits

Some estimates suggest that between 1.5 to 3 million people who come to A&E each year could have their needs addressed in other parts of the urgent care system, they turn to A&E because it seems like the best or only option.

The rising pressures on A&E services also stem from continued growth in levels of emergency admissions and delayed transfers of care when patients are fit to leave the hospital

What’s been achieved in England over the past three years?

  • Care for 23 million A&E attendances in 2016/17, 1.2 million more than three years ago.
  • Boosted the capacity and capability of NHS 111, which now takes 15 million calls each year, up from 7.5 million three years ago.
  • Expanded “Hear and Treat” and “See and Treat” ambulance services so that they now cover 3.5 million people, with the provision of telephone advice and treatment of people in their homes saving unnecessary trips to the hospital.
  • Developed an integrated urgent care model, offering a single point of entry for urgent care via NHS 111, and rolled it out to 20% of the population.
  • Increased NHS staff uptake of winter flu vaccinations from 49% last year to 63% this year – the highest

Join us on the 9th of July 2019 at the 3rd Patient Flow Congress as we explore the key deliverables that need to be achieved over the next year to adhere to NHS England’s five years forward view, we will also be looking at how the Trusts and CCGs got on while attempting to meet the Government’s 2017/18 mandate.

Key NHS deliverables:

  • Specialist mental health care in A&Es: 74 24-hour ‘core 24’ mental health teams, covering five times more A&Es by March 2019, than now. The service will be available in more than a quarter of acute hospitals by March 2018 and reach nearly half by March 2019, compared with under one-in-ten today.
  • Enhance NHS 111 by increasing from 22% to 30%+ the proportion of 111 calls receiving a clinical assessment by March 2018, so that only patients who genuinely need to attend A&E or use the ambulance service are advised to do this. GP out of hours and 111 services will increasingly be combined. By 2019, NHS 111 will be able to book people into urgent face to face appointments where this is needed.
  • Roll out evening and weekend GP appointments, to 50% of the public by March 2018 and 100% by March 2019.

How the changes will be delivered:

  • £100 million in capital funding will be provided to support modifications to A&E
  • Clearer local performance incentives.
  • Aligned national programme management.
  • Broader improvement support.

We also know that many attendances could be directed to more appropriate health provision, taking pressure off the system. We have developed a solution currently piloted across 240,000 patients in Bexley CCG (SE London) with the aim to remotely sign post patients from home to the right place for their symptoms, and to digitise their journey once at the ED.

Katie Roebuck (Confirmed) Head of Urgent Care, Service Delivery & Transformation for NHS Wakefield & North Kirklees CCG’s “CCG Case Study” NHS Wakefield Clinical Commissioning Group plans and pays for local health services in the Wakefield district. The CCG is made up of 37 GP practices and covers a population of over 360,000 patients. Led by GPs and nurses, we work together with patients and GP practices in the area to ensure the right NHS services are in place to support the health and wellbeing of the local population. Our population includes some of the most deprived neighbourhoods in the UK. Twelve out of the 21 wards in our area are in the UK’s 25% most deprived and life expectancy is below the national average. There are also above average levels of teenage pregnancy, obesity and smoking-related illnesses such as heart disease, stroke and cancer. The Mid Yorkshire system, serves a population of 560,000 covering both the North Kirklees and Wakefield Districts. Wakefield and North Kirklees Clinical Commissioning Groups work with their social care and voluntary sector partners to commission providers to deliver urgent and emergency healthcare. The Mid Yorkshire System sits within the West Yorkshire and Harrogate Sustainability and Transformation Partnership (STP). Local NHS organisations, councils, charities and partner organisations work closely together to make improvements to the health and social care system. As part of this work, a specific programme, the West Yorkshire Urgent and Emergency Care Network (WYUECN), co-ordinates improvements for urgent and emergency care across the West Yorkshire region.

I worked with Convenzis, primarily Dan, for the first time this year, putting together a bespoke online event for IBM. He has always been so responsive and accommodating. The team always remained professional and helpful – despite the many demands from our side! They were very keen for us to maximise on the investment and revisit those attendees who had not committed to follow ups.
It was an absolute pleasure doing business with Convenzis and I know there will be more opportunities next year. Looking forward to it!
