What ??? If …
The National Policy Framework • Modernisation agenda • Consumerism, design quality, sustainability • To enhance the patient’s experience of healthcare
The NHS Plan • To upgrade GP premises and create one-stop primary care centres • Greater integration of primary and community, social services • Pay attention to the comfort and convenience of patients • Emphasis on privacy and dignity
Health Policy • 3000 GP premises, 500 one-stop shops • Millions more outpatients to be seen in primary care • Advancing medical technology • Wider range of expertise in primary care • Existing premises are insufficient
Patient & Patient & Family Family One-stop shops Primary Care Trust Local Authorities Carers Police General Practitioners Counselling Physical fitness & advice / leisure Chiropractors Dentists Nurses Opticians Therapists Retail / commercial Ambulance services Pharmacists Social Workers Allied Health Professionals Midwives Diagnosticians Link to schools Volunteers Job / advice centres Podiatrists
The result • Greater integration • Benefit (i.e. welfare advice) services • Improvements to patients’ health and social circumstances • Economic regeneration This needs: Premises with capacity and innovative design
Related providers • NHS Direct (24 hours a day) • Walk-in Centres and Minor Injury Centres (with interactive video links with A & E) “However care is accessed patients should be viewed as customers with their needs put before those of the healthcare providers”
Privacy and dignity • Reception • Consultation • Examination • Treatment With particular attention for the increasing numbers of elderly managing chronic conditions
Other issues • The development of patient pathways • Facilities not being developed in isolation • Grouping of single handed GPs • The development and updating of the SSDP
Changing roles • Nurses taking on GP tasks • Lifestyle changes (health promotion) • Social group fostering activities • GPs with special interests • Specialist outreach care • Telemedicine (teleradiology and telepathology) • Near patient testing – smaller and more automated equipment
Our role • To be aware and sensitive to this agenda • To fulfil the criteria for design quality and sustainability as set out in AEDET and the CABE vision • To understand the consumerism agenda • To create non-institutional & healing environments • To radically improve the patient journey • Link design to patient recovery
