Scene setting
Some things that won t change Two care homes will remain in existing locations Dental unit remain in Grantown-on-Spey GP Practices, Dental and pharmacy will remain in Kingussie, Grantown, Laggan and Aviemore Excellent culture of care provided by staff
Challenges Address poor condition of hospital buildings Address resources split across three centres To increase capacity of care-athome/community service Reduce delays for out-of-hours medical cover for in-patients Improve co-location/ joint working (integration)
Identify need for service change and strategic options
Local involvement Local steering groups established 6 Workshops (June 13 to March 14) Case for change to develop and appraise options Short list of three options Preferred service model option proposed Identify possible sites in central location (Aviemore)
Short list of three options 1. Do minimum 2. Community resource centre and hospital in one town (Grantown or Kingussie) and scaled-down services in other (eg no inpatient beds) 3. Community resource centre and hospital (~20-25 in-patient beds) in Aviemore supported by other services and developments
Steering group preferred option Option 3 Based on option appraisal process
What could change Development of new community hospital with in-patient beds and resource centre in Aviemore Improved out-of-hours medical cover for in-patients Health centre, day centre and staff bases in Aviemore to move to new centre Develop care-at-home and care homes Ian Charles and St Vincent s close once new hospital built
