1 Revised for: 1 April 2014 Appendix 2.3 SERVICE SPECIFICATION FOR THE PROVISION OF NHS HEALTH CHECKS IN BOURNEMOUTH, DORSET AND POOLE

2 DORSET COUNTY COUNCIL Page 2 of INTRODUCTION 1.1. This Service Specification relates to the contract, which requires GP Practices to provide NHS Health Checks (vascular risk assessment and management services) 1.2. The Service Specification comprises of two main components Activity required to identify Service Users, set up call and recall systems, send invitations and record outcome data from all checks carried out in a timely and accurate way on the GP clinical system The process of undertaking NHS Health Check assessments, as well as carrying out appropriate follow-up and the use of agreed referral pathways as necessary. 2. BACKGROUND 2.1. Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality and is a significant contributory factor towards the current level of health inequalities in Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole. Approximately 21% of deaths under 75 years of age ( ) were attributed to circulatory disease, the highest cause of premature death in the local population. The NHS Health Check programme provides a structured approach to cardiovascular risk management for all people aged years old, who are not already on any patient risk register Everyone is at some risk of developing heart disease, stroke, diabetes, kidney disease and some forms of dementia. The NHS Health Check aims to help individuals to reduce their risk of developing these common but often preventable diseases. Those eligible are invited for a NHS Health Check once every five years. Through the check, their risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and diabetes is assessed through some straightforward tests and standard questions about their lifestyle and family medical history. Personalised advice and support is then offered to help lower the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Those with low or moderate risk are likely to receive advice about changes to their lifestyle, whilst individuals with a higher risk may also be offered medical support through primary care and onward referral to other specialist support services e.g. smoking cessation and/or weight management It is calculated that NHS Health Checks and appropriate management of risk could prevent 1,600 heart attacks and strokes a year nationally, and provide a real opportunity to tackle the gap in life expectancy between deprived and less deprived populations. The total population in Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole eligible for a Health Check is 258,000 (equating to 51,600 per year). 3. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE SERVICE / SERVICE OUTCOMES 3.1. The Service aims to: Improve population health outcomes and quality of life by reducing the risk of vascular disease in adults attending for a risk assessment and lifestyle advice (NHS Health Check) Identify at an earlier stage, adults with previously undetected vascular conditions who are not currently being managed in primary care specifically type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke and TIA, chronic kidney disease and vascular dementia and to signpost/refer to appropriate primary care and lifestyle services.

3 DORSET COUNTY COUNCIL Page 3 of The Service objectives are to: offer 20 per cent of all eligible adults within Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole aged years an NHS Health Check in accordance with the national Best Practice Guidance (October, 2013); set up call and recall systems, send invitations and record outcome data from all checks carried out in a timely and accurate way on the GP clinical system; offer support and signposting to Service Users identified at increased risk of cardiovascular disease to enable them to make changes to lifestyles to reduce their overall risk; offer convenience and accessibility of one-stop testing facilities by providing a choice of location and extended hours of availability. 4. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE 4.1. The Provider shall provide NHS Health Checks in accordance with the process outlined below The Provider shall use their GP Clinical Systems to identify the Service cohort for the Service. Eligible Service Users will be those who: are aged between 40 and 74 years and have not previously received an NHS Health Check; and are NOT on one of the following disease registers: Diabetes; CHD; Heart Failure; Atrial Fibrillation; Hypertension; Stroke/TIA; Renal disease (stages 3 to 5) / CKD; Familial Hypercholesterolaemia; Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD); Palliative Care (practices will manually identify and exclude those Service Users that are on the palliative care register); Those taking statins; Those taking blood pressure medication The Service is to be provided in accordance with NHS Health Check Best Practice Guidance (Oct 2013) at all times. This, together with other key documents, can be found at the NHS Health Checks website The National Screening Committee has published updated information/guidance on the key components of the health check assessment (including an explanation of the QRISK II risk equation used locally) and this can be found at the NHS Health Checks website The Provider shall undertake the alcohol risk assessment (using the AUDIT-C questionnaire) and raise awareness of dementia as part of the full NHS Health Check assessment in line with this guidance, regardless of any local agreements that may have been agreed with the Purchaser and any commissioners previously.

Any Service User identified as at risk (CVD risk greater than 20 per cent) will be subject to annual review in accordance with the Providers usual procedures for managing high risk primary prevention patients. Annual review is not part of the NHS Health Check programme Although the NHS Health Checks programme is a universal service, the Provider is encouraged to target checks preferentially to populations most at risk of CVD events. Guidance found in NICE PH15 may assist with search strategies to identify people most at risk The Provider can decide on the optimal call and recall strategy. An invite constitutes any one of the following: a letter, a phone call, a text, or an . The invite shall be recorded on the clinical system to enable an accurate call/recall system to be maintained.
