Workforce: a key enabler to North Central London delivery London Clinical Senate Forum 11 th October 2018 Dr Josephine Sauvage FRCGP Chair Islington CCG Clinical Lead North London Partners Clinical Lead for Workforce development NLP
Strategic risk management: Workforce One of the key risks to delivering the plans set out is relating to workforce: regarding the risk that plans do not enable the health and care sector to work in new ways effectively This presentation sets out at high level how the programme is working to manage this risk and the priorities for 2018/19. Service transformation plans across health & social care continue to evolve. Workforce plans for system integration need to complement local organisational plans: Difficult to model Unpredictable Take account of workforce development and planning

The Care & Health Integrated Network Model (CHIN Networks) QISTs The Care & Health Integrated Network CEPNs Quality Improvement Support Teams apply QI as our approach to reduce unwarranted variation in patient care. The boroughbased teams sit within primary care but working across the system. They offer support to identify and tackle unwarranted variation and build QI capability. Practice-based pharmacist working across networked practices, proactively reviewing patients Acute - consultant/ specialist advice and guidance to GPs/ network partners in managing patients in primary care and avoiding unnecessary referrals General Practice team (GPs, practice nurses, health care assistants across a network) and Quality Improvement Support Team Voluntary sector link worker/ navigator able to proactively social prescribe/ navigate Local authority including link to social care, housing, employment, education and vol sector Community services e.g. primary care, or specialist nurses, physio, working as part of the network to improve population health outcomes Mental health input via a link worker or primary care MH support through clinics within the network. Proactive population support. Community Education Provider Networks in each borough work with stakeholder partners to develop collaborative networks of service and education providers, working across a geographic footprint, with a shared purpose to create the right workforce to support the delivery of population health outcomes.
Some key risks to delivery Attracting and retaining workforce to London so that they stay (evidence suggests retention in first 18 months means staff stay 5 years+) Health care challenges in general practice, nursing and allied health professionals Building local recruitment pathways to employ north Londoners in our services* Social Care workforce faces significant recruitment and retention challenges and is the focus of the North London ASC Programme Social care nurses and registered managers: we need a focus on developing and supporting these groups, especially in relation to leadership skills Salary competition in inner London competitive rates needed to attract nursing workforce The salary gap between salaries in social care and for health care assistants is widening and presents a challenge to the social care workforce Key worker benefits needed including travel and housing * The NCL adult social care sector estimated contribution to the local economy in 2016/17 was 1bn: a focus on this economic argument could bring efforts together to meet rising demand for services. 1 in 8 Londoners are estimated to be working in health or social care. Recruiting local people helps our local economy, improves health outcomes and should support retention.
Case study: General practice as the foundation of the NHS A North Central London Strategy for General Practice RETAIN Older GPs experience & skills are needed by the system: Co- produce new employment models, enabling all staff to work more flexibly across organisational interfaces: Portability & passporting Review terms & conditions Explore opportunities to secondary care education Improve opportunities for flexible working and promote portfolio career options for GPs & other staff Encourage good employment practice eg national/ SW England approach to terms and conditions. RECRUIT Critical, given the high requirement demographic and attrition rates: Focus on: The GP workforce, through: GP Trainee Recruitment The model of GP training GP Trainer networks Returning practitioners Overseas recruitment Creating opportunities to attract others to professions in general practice eg work experience, business and administrative / health care apprenticeships & opportunities for existing health professionals. The GP Nurse workforce. WIDEN OUR SKILL MIX Transformation in delivery of care needs new ways of working: System commitment to identify resources to support testing of new employment models and to collaborate Support GP Nurses to work at the top of their license, develop and maintain skills, create opportunities for leadership skills & mentoring Support and augment the development of new roles to work in general practice, eg physician & nursing assoc-iates & medical assistants.
In conclusion Workforce is a key enabler to a transformation in the way we deliver care We face real workforce challenges and the solutions need to be innovative using a combined approach Solutions need to be strategic and over-arching Street design co-produced by staff Need to address priorities: Care market/gp/middle grade and junior Drs/other professional groups Pay attention to staff wellbeing Bigger issues around where collaboration at a London level might be an opportunity to secure a workforce for London.
