3 Introduction The Scottish Paediatric Renal Urology Network is a national managed clinical network, funded by NHS National Services Scotland (NSD) and hosted by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (Women and Children s Division) set up and accredited by NSD in 004. The Network is intended to encompass renal and urological disease in children and young people (up to 6) which may require the input of a specialist unit but which can also be managed locally. This annual report charts the progress of the Scottish Paediatric Renal Urology Network (SPRUN) in the year April 007 to March 008. Executive Summary In the year April 007 March 008, SPRUN has: Developed a benchmarking questionnaire to assess level of service provision available locally for children with Nephrotic Syndrome Increased the number of health board areas using the Renal Medication Information Booklet Continued to hold meetings for families and children with renal or urological conditions Continued to hold regular teleconference case discussions Updated the process for teleconference case discussions to reflect experience to date Held an educational seminar for nurses involved in the care of children with renal or urological disorders Held an educational seminar for pharmacists involved in the care of children with renal or urological disorders Developed dietetic inserts for the Renal Medication Information Booklet Prepared and distributed guideline packs for Henoch Schonlein Purpura and Antenatally Detected Renal Pyelectasis Met with MSPs to discuss services for children with renal and urological conditions Contributed to the consultation on the National Delivery Plan for Children and Young People s Specialist Services In the year April 008 March 009, SPRUN plans to: The Network will conduct a training needs analysis for all staff within the network speciality The Network will provide a comprehensive directory of services for children and young people with renal and urology problems The Network will monitor and develop the provision of good quality written information for families The Network will support open review of RHSC Yorkhill Renal Unit s clinical guidelines for national adaptation and use (this should include medical, nursing and other clinical guidelines and protocols)

4 The Network will establish a link nurse for the Network in each local area, to work along side the link clinicians Background Managed Clinical Networks In 00 the Scottish Executive issued NHS HDL (00) 69 Promoting the Development of Managed Clinical Networks in NHS Scotland to confirm their commitment to Managed Clinical Networks (MCNs). MCNs are described in the HDL as: Linked groups of health professionals and organisations from primary, secondary and tertiary care, working in a co-ordinated manner, unconstrained by existing professional and health board boundaries, to ensure equitable provision of high quality clinically effective services throughout Scotland. Following on from the recommendations in Delivering for Health, the Scottish Executive issued a further HDL in 007. NHS HDL (007) Strengthening the role of managed clinical networks reiterated the core principles of MCNs from previous guidance and produced revised guidance aimed at strengthening MCN s authority and increasing their influence over the way in which resources are allocated for services. Scottish Paediatric Renal Urology Managed Clinical Network The Scottish Paediatric Renal Urology Network is a national managed clinical network, funded by NHS National Services Scotland (NSD) and hosted by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (Women and Children s Division) set up and accredited by NSD in 004. The Network is intended to encompass renal and urological disease in children and young people (up to 6) which may require the input of a specialist unit but which can also be managed locally. The Network will facilitate the care of children and young people with renal disease via local teams delivering care close to home with information and intervention being provided, as necessary, by the specialist unit. The vision of the Scottish Paediatric Renal Network is that by collaboration and multi-disciplinary working there will be a significant improvement in the outcomes of children and young people with renal and urological disease. The SPRUN is run from the Managed Clinical Networks Department within RHSC Yorkhill. The Lead Clinician for the Network is Dr David Hughes, Consultant Paediatric Nephrologist (RHSC Glasgow). 4

5 Derrick Pearce, who has managed the SPRUN since 006, left the Network in September 007. Derrick brought great enthusiasm and a dynamic approach to the development of the SPRUN and was integral to the success the Network has become today. The Network currently has temporary management from the MCN department and a new manager will be recruited shortly. Linda Watson has taken on the role of the Network Administrator for SPRUN. Anna Murphy who has been the Network Advisor to the SRUN in recent times has also left the Network. Anna was fundamental to the establishment of SPRUN and acted as the first lead clinician for the Network. Her enthusiasm and drive led to the formation and development of a strong foundation for SPRUN. Paediatric Nephrology/ Urology Scope of the Network Accurate data on the numbers of children and young people in Scotland with renal/urology disease was not available when the SPRUN was launched. SMR data reports have shown that renal and urology conditions have accounted for an average of 5,000 inpatient admissions in Scotland each year since 00. This figure amounts to approximately,400 individual children and young people per annum. We are not yet in a position to report on the number of children and young people affected as outpatient data does not show diagnoses. Thus, the numbers we can report relate only to those children who require a stay in hospital and not the great many who may have a renal or urology condition but who are seen by a healthcare professional as an outpatient. The disease categories covered by SPRUN include: Complex Steroid Sensitive Nephrotic Syndrome Acute and Chronic Renal Failure Glomerulonephritis Renal Biopsy, Hypertension, Metabolic/Tubular Disease Nephro-Urology problems (eg neuropathic bladder) In addition to these very specialised and less common renal/urology diagnoses it has become clear that many children and young people have more common urological conditions requiring multidisciplinary assessment and management which the Network can support. The SPRUN seeks to take an interest in any condition which influences the renal and bladder function, and where there may be a need for service developments to increase effectiveness thus preventing more serious problems arising. 5

6 Network Structure and Accountability The Scottish Paediatric Renal Network is organised around local areas representing the 4 Health Boards. There are on average representatives for each local area on the Steering Group, as outlined below. Peter Bates, former Chairman of NHS Tayside, chaired the Network since its inception until 007. The SPRUN is extremely grateful for his contribution and support over this time. We will miss his dynamism in conducting our steering group meetings and his considerable knowledge of Scottish Health Service structures when advising on taking forward our aims. He is succeeded in this role by Gillian Costello, Head of MCNs for Tayside. The Network Chair acts as an independent/ lay member of SPRUN. Local Services Local Paediatric Renal Urology Groups There are evolving paediatric renal/urology groups responsible for delivering services for children and young people with renal/urology diseases or needs in their local area. The local groups are headed up by the SPRUN Link Clinicians who are Consultant General Paediatricians with an interest in renal medicine or urology supported by a nurse with interest, and wider multidisciplinary team members where these are available. The role of the link clinician is: Regularly attending the Network Steering Group Disseminating network information to relevant stakeholders in their clinical and geographical area Leading on local implementation of agreed guidelines and care pathways Initiating, leading and supporting local service development Contributing to Network developments and working groups Supporting the network management team Promoting and facilitating audit of paediatric renal and urological services locally and nationally Sharing collective responsibility for the performance, direction and leadership of the network. Supporting the active involvement of children, young people and their families in the planning of individual care, service delivery and development Local services work collaboratively within their region as well as nationally to ensure that specialists and resources are shared effectively. The SPRUN encourages and supports collaborative working at a regional level as well as locally, for individual service needs and nationally. 6

7 SPRUN Groups The SPRUN Groups consist of stakeholders of the network who have a common interest in a particular aspect of our work (e.g. Care Pathways). The Groups are supported by the Network Management Team and report into the Steering Group. The SPRUN hosts the following sub groups: SPRUN Families Group Clinical Guidelines and Care Pathways Group SPRUN Pharmacists Group SPRUN Nurses Group Scottish Enuresis Interest Group Training and Education Group/ Scottish Paediatric Renal Group (SPRG) SPRUN Dietitians Group More detail on each of these reports and a report on their work is given later in this report. Network Steering Group The purpose of the Network Steering Group is to support and steer the development of a managed clinical network for paediatric renal and urological services in Scotland. This will include the support and development of collaborative multi-professional teams throughout Scotland. The Steering Group is accountable to National Services Division and the Health Boards for Developing the Strategic direction of the Network Developing Strategic Alliances for the network Ensuring the Network meets its objectives strategically and locally Supporting the Network Management Team (Core Group) Accounting for performance against the National Services Division Service Level Agreement. The steering group membership which includes parents, carers and non- NHS supporters is supported by the Network Management Team to attend meetings regularly, or arrange a deputy to attend and take responsibility for action agreed at the meeting. Members communicate information to and from the organisation, discipline or constituency they represent, acting as a conduit to ensure that all professionals, organisations and families are involved. The Steering Group meets for formally for a full day session three times a year. Network Management Team/Core Group The Network Management team/core Group consists of the Network Lead Clinician, Network Manager and Network Administrator. The Network Lead 7

8 Clinician is accountable to the Steering Group for ensuring consistent clinical leadership of the network and is ultimately accountable for the MCN. The Network Manager is responsible to the Paediatric Clinical Networks Department of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (the host Health Board), and accountable to the Lead Clinician and Steering Group for the day-to-day operational management of the Network, including a devolved budget and any additional investment. The Network Administrator is accountable to the Network Manger for delivering a full administration, technical and support service to the Network. Progress to date (April 007 March 008) It has been a particularly challenging year for SPRUN with a number of personnel changes in the core team. The network has been without a Network Manager for much of the year and this has put considerable pressure on the rest of the team and made it difficult for the Network to progress at same rate. However, despite these challenges and with considerable effort from the rest of the team SPRUN has made some significant advancements within the year. The Service Level Agreement (SLA) between the SPRUN and National Services Division for the period April 007 to March 008 set out the following 5 key objectives:. The network will undertake an extended benchmarking exercise in order to define what care should be delivered in each setting using a questionnaire based on the patient journey. Establish network wide use of Renal Medication Information Booklet (RMIB) undertaking two pilots in two areas as a first step.. The network will develop, agree and submit a quality assurance framework to NHS QIS for accreditation. 4. The network will facilitate and support the SPRUN families group to ensure the active participation of children, young people, their families and their supporters 5. The Network will stabilise and strengthen the SPRUN teleconferencing case discussion service Performance Against 5 Key Objectives Objective Narrative Status. An initial benchmarking questionnaire has been Partially developed for Nephrotic Syndrome based on the achieved guideline. The format of the questionnaire is designed to assess what services identified in the guideline are available and to what level they are accessible in each SPRUN locality. The Nephrotic Syndrome questionnaire 8

9 is being used to pilot this format and if considered successful similar questionnaires will be developed for other renal/ urological conditions. The Nephrotic Syndrome questionnaires have been circulated to all local link clinicians for completion with their local teams. The responses have now been received from most areas and collated. A selection of some of the results are shown in Appendix. From the results received to date there appears to be differing levels of access to support services in different areas.. During 007/008 the RMIB has been piloted in Lanarkshire and Ayrshire and Arran. The booklet is now being used widely across the country. In some health board areas the booklet is currently being used on a sporadic basis so SPRUN is now seeking a named individual in each health board area to formalise use of the RMIB. Additional inserts are also being developed by other professional groups within the Network.. In response to the growing number of managed clinical networks at all levels (local, regional, national) in Scotland, NHS QIS decided in 006 to review the processes for development and accreditation of Network QAFs. This review has been ongoing and NHS QIS now plan to pilot the new process during 008/009. The SPRUN has therefore not been able to achieve this objective in this year but continues to recognise this as a priority and will move forward with this objective when the framework becomes available. 4. During the year 007/008, family group meetings have continued to be held in the West of Scotland and in the North of Scotland. SPRUN has also worked with the clinicians in the East of Scotland to promote the idea there. 5. Following the inaugural year of the teleconferencing case discussion service, SPRUN held review meetings in December 007 with all those involved. Following the review, changes were made to the structure of the service to improve the educational potential, to enable the service to be offered to more centres and to better utilise time. Sessions are now held 4 times per year in the west of Scotland with Ayrshire and Arran, Lanarkshire, Dumfries and Galloway, and Stirling linking to RHSC in Glasgow. Similarly there are four sessions per year in east of Scotland with Borders and Fife linking in to RHSC Edinburgh. Information has been sent out to all consultant paediatricians in the areas to encourage them to make use of the service Partially achieved Not achieved (outwith the control of SPRUN) Achieved Achieved 9

10 through their local link clinician. Additional Performance Information SPRUN Nurses Group In June 007 the SPRUN nurses group held their first educational seminar. The meeting was very successful with very positive evaluations (shown as an appendix to this document) though unfortunately it was not as well attended as we had hoped. In recognition of the importance of the nurse role in the care of children with renal and urological disorders, SPRUN has written to all the directors of nursing to raise awareness of the Network. It is hoped that health boards will commit to the idea of managed clinical networks and to ensuring multidisciplinary staff have time built into their job plans to take part in the range of Network activities. The core nurses group have also developed further plans to create information sheets for common issues such as obtaining urine from children under, obtaining an accurate blood pressure in children and also some information on nephritic syndrome. SPRUN Nurse Advisor Post During 007/008, the development of the nursing role within the Network was thought to be a key priority and Kidney Kids offered to fund a Nurse Advisor post to take this forward. Following discussion it was felt that one post might not be practical with the geographical range covered by the Network and options are being considered as to how best this role could be delivered. SPRUN Pharmacists Group A SPRUN pharmacists group seminar was held in April 007. The event was a great success and a summary of the evaluations are shown as an appendix to this report. Another event is planned for 008 looking at haemodialysis and psychology issues. SPRUN Dietitians Group The SPRUN dietitians group have developed inserts for the RMIB with information on diet. The group are also working on training materials and resources that will be evidence based and will be updated regularly. It is hoped the materials will eventually be available from the SPRUN website to support dietetic management of children with renal impairment across Scotland. Due to the scale of this project the group will be seeking additional 0

11 funding to secure protected time for the development of this valuable resource. Clinical Guidelines Guideline packs have been prepared and distributed for Henoch Schonlein Purpura and antenatally detected Renal Pyelectasis. The purpose of the documents within these packs was for relevant recipients to use, review and adapt them as necessary for local use. The documents were designed so that they could be individualised by each centre (e.g. hospital name, contacts, and so on can be changed to suit the user). The Henoch Schonlein Purpura pack is made up of: a renal monitoring record, renal management presentation and information for doctors diagnosing Henoch Schonlein Purpura. The antenatal detected Renal Pyelectasis pack is made up of information leaflets and guidelines for management. All the above information was also put on CD and enclosed with the packs so that information was easily adaptable. Packs were sent to all steering group members, link paediatricians, A&E Depts., Primary Care, Health Boards Bodies, Boards of Medical Directors and NHS 4. Scottish Enuresis Interest Group (SEiG) The SEIG is a multidisciplinary group of health professionals interested in establishing standards and the promotion of best practice in enuresis. There are representatives from of the 4 health boards attend from various services and disciplines. The group have established what services are available across Scotland and established contacts in each area. The group meets to times per year for training, sharing of information and building links. Scottish Parliament Links On the 0 th March 008, members of the Network were invited to the Scottish Parliament to discuss the work of the Network and how services for children with renal and urological conditions and their families could be improved. The event was organised by Michael Matheson MSP and Kidney Kids, who also talked about the role of the charity. As a result of this event, Kidney Kids and members of the Network will meet with Nicola Sturgeon, Cabinet Secretary for Health and Wellbeing on the 4 th September 008. National Delivery Plan for Children and Young People s Specialist Services In March 008, the Government launched a consultation event on the draft document National Delivery Plan for Children and Young People s Specialist Services. SPRUN was fortunate to have Dr Morgan Jamieson to speak at a steering group meeting. At the meeting Dr Jamieson asked the Network to comment on a number of issues from the NDP and following the meeting SPRUN submitted an official response.

12 Within the response returned, SPRUN addressed: The importance of supporting established MCNs along with the development of the identified new MCNs The importance of clear and robust mechanisms for MCNs to influence planning and commissioning services The importance of careful consideration to how services are defined in looking at the concept of Managed Service Networks Welcoming the recognition of the role of the four children s hospitals (Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen) and looking to the NDP to address the variation in service levels in part by allowing the resources for development of local nursing and AHP staff. The need for mechanisms of local accountability in supporting and delivering the standard of speciality care locally agreed by the clinical network Welcoming sharing of skills and experience between MCNs but emphasising the importance of relationships within a Network and the role of the Network manager and Administrator in developing and maintaining the relationships. The importance of technical support for teleconferencing as part of this development and developing the IT systems to support cross boundary working in tandem with these developments Developing new models of care looking at extended roles for nurses and AHPs supported by resourced training and education Our response has been allocated the reference number CON and will be available to view along with other responses on the Scottish Government consultation web page ( by rd June 008.
