DERBYSHIRE COUNTY PCT A Business Strategy for the Provision of a County Wide Cardiac Rehabilitation Service
Who we are • Janet Whitehead – Public Health Specialist. Derbyshire County PCT. • Ciara Scarff - LTC Commissioning Manager. Derbyshire County PCT. • Dr Clare Hawley - GPwSI in Cardiology, Chesterfield, Derbyshire.
Aims of our presentation • Setting the scene and understanding the issues • Developing a business strategy from a Commissioner point of view • Influencing the business strategy from a clinical perspective
Introduction to Derbyshire County PCT • Derbyshire County is one if the largest PCTs in the County – it has a population of 712,000 and covers 1,025 square miles • There is a Spearhead area within the County which reflects the health inequalities within Derbyshire. • The County is diverse. There are rural areas, urban areas, ex-mining areas and affluent areas which often conceal pockets of deprivation.
Our Providers • There are a small number of community providers represented by the blue stars • There are two acute Trusts within Derbyshire delivering phase 3 • There are a large number of providers of phase three outside of the County • 11 external providers leads to great difficulty when it comes to commissioning an agreed, equitable service Cheshire

Key points • Services not properly commissioned and developed in a piecemeal fashion • Variation in service delivery resulting in inequalities across the County • Lack of capacity of existing providers particularly in the north of the County • Variation in investment across the County • Low profile prior to merging of 6 PCTs • Difficulty in contracting for an equitable service across the County • Poor data and poor data quality
Moving forward! • Commissioners cannot work alone. Involve the right people from the start: • Clinicians including a lead clinician • Patient representatives • Finance and data analyst support • Public health • Leisure services Let us through! We’re NHS Managers!
Understand the current picture • Starting point is to define your baseline. What capacity do you need and who are you currently providing for? • Can be complicated if you have multiple providers • Get analyst support • Use NICE Commissioning Tool to help with demand • Face the fact you may not be able to get all the data you would ideally like to have!
Get a handle on your finances • Understand what you are paying for…..not as easy as it sounds! • Payment for cardiac rehab often have developed incrementally and can be hard to identify in large contracts with acute trusts • Get finance on board and start the process early • You may find out you are overpaying but you may also end up with a bill like we did when investigation by the Trust identified the PCT hadn't been paying!
Build your case! • Make use of tools and evidence available • Learn from other areas • Make the changes attractive to the PCT!
Define your specification • Opportunity to ensure quality and reduce gaps in service • Allow for innovation • Define strong health outcomes • Get buy-in
To summarise… • Get the right people together • Understand what is currently happening • Identify improvements • Build your case or work within existing resources • Produce a service specification that identifies key performance measures
