The Case for Change Health NHS will be 70 years old in 2018. New treatments for a growing and aging population mean that pressures on services are greater than they have ever been Waiting times are rising and health services are struggling to cope with demand Up to 3 million A&E visits could have been better dealt with elsewhere. There are difficulties admitting sicker patients into hospital beds and discharging them promptly back home Little investment in community health services as acute s continue to suck in money and resources. Significant shortages in key roles that support community response such as District Nurses, Advanced Nurse Practitioners, Consultant Geriatricians, Primary Care/GPs etc.
The Response Health An integrated health approach to community provision Bridgewater Community NHS Trust and Wrightington, Wigan & Leigh Trust - 60+ service lines and 500+ nursing and therapy staff from across three organisations Looked at both international and national examples of how to do things differently Wigan Council a critical friend in the transformation.now part of the integrated journey Focus on three levels of healthcare: Rapid keeping people out of hospital or getting them home sooner Complex those who are unstable or with multiple conditions Active routine and planned community care

So what have we learnt? Front line staff just get on and do it..if managers get the right support mechanisms in place Staff say they remember why they came into the job. a feeling that this is the way they should be working Patients are benefitting from telling their story once and a feeling of support in their community Public and wider services are starting to really understand their communities. and are working together to achieve the same aims
What are the challenges? Information sharing across organisations.information governance can feel more of a barrier than an enabler Different organisational cultures and attitude to risk The pressure from the system to measure activity and not outcomes Are we there yet? pressure to make a difference right now!
