As an example… • Suffolk GP Federation • Aims • Scale / Collaboration • Support Primary Care • Deliver Services • So how have we done? • Formed 2007 • Coastal Locality (30 Practices) • 2014 - Ipswich practices joined (44 Practices) • 2015 - West Suffolk practices joined (59 Practices) • Population covered 560,000
Scale / Collaboration • Care Homes Nursing • Community Diabetes – North East Essex • NEEDS • £5 per patient • Negotiated Medical Defence Cover • “Represented” Primary Care
Clinical Services PMCF Extended Hours GP Service (GP +) 7 day working Walton Surgery Support Practice Development Suffolk Primary Care - Single Partnership Leadership Training – GP’s - Leading the Way/ Future Leaders Practice Managers Training Represent Practices (STP,ICO,IACO) Collaborative Working GP On the Day / Domiciliary Care Team Employ other health professionals (pharmacist's) Support Primary Care
Deliver Services • Lymphoedema • Cardiology • Diabetes • ENT • Community Ultrasound service • Community Pain Service
What else have we done? Collaborative working GP+ Emergency Department 111 Ambulance Service Pathways ACO STP / Community Alliance Diabetes Colchester Hospital / ACE Podiatry / Diabetes UK Cardiology – The Ipswich Hospital Primary Care change (e.g. Suffolk Primary Care “Super Partnership”)
Patient Benefits Support to Practices Extended GP Access Care Closer to Home Quality Services (e.g. PMCF Feedback + Diabetes UK Report)
What haven’t we done? • Address Variation • Change in Practices (work patterns / new models) • Primary Care at scale / genuine collaboration • Practices not any more resilient • ….. But that is changing - Leadership Course (GP+ SPC) Vulnerable Practice Fund • Single Voice? LMC / CCG / Federation
Why haven’t we done it? Change takes time
NHS England CCG Federation
What needs to happen? Commission at scale Support for change Consistent message (NHSE/CCG/LMC) Realistic time scales
So what are they good for? • Can facilitate collaboration • Single Voice • Starting Collaboration • Training support practice staff • Provide structure / management support • Employ staff across practices • Perform LES across practices • MCP • BUT – Federations are not the end game
