  4. Making Every Contact Count Making Every Contact Count focuses on short, one-to-one opportunities with service users to advise and signpost to healthy lifestyle information on: • stopping smoking • drinking alcohol within recommended limits • eating a healthy diet • taking regular physical activity • maintaining a healthy weight • mental health and wellbeing

  5. What MECC is not • It is not about adding another job to your already busy working day • It is not about you becoming a specialist in a certain lifestyle area • It is not about you becoming a counsellor or providing ongoing support to particular individuals • It is not about you telling somebody what to do and how to live their live • It is about you helping other people to know how they can improve their own health and wellbeing.

  6. MECC approach MECC is about encouraging people to make healthier choices to achieve positive long-term behaviour change for better health and wellbeing among patients / service users and staff themselves MECC involves: • Systematically promoting the benefits of healthy living across the organisation • Asking an individual about their lifestyle and if they want to make a change • Responding appropriately to the lifestyle issue/s once raised • Taking the appropriate action to either give information, signpost or refer service users to the support they need

  7. An example of MECC Impact In East Midlands • 288,000 staff • Millions of patient contacts a year • If staff MECC with just ten people • Less than one hour a year for each staff member = 2.88 million opportunities to influence behaviour change.

  8. Cost basis • Sarah to input local data of alcohol costs .

Health Inequalities Unhealthy lifestyles ‘…people living in the poorest areas will, on average, die 7 years earlier than people living in the richer areas and spend 17 years more living with ill health.’ ‘…the commitment to reduce health inequalities is a priority for ...the health system, drawing upon the Marmot review to address the wider determinants of health…’ Healthy Lives, Healthy People: update and way forward. July 2011

  11. Discussion • What is the profile of our service users? • What are their lifestyle and information needs? • What influences their lifestyle choices? • Does the issue differ for each stage of life?

  13. Smoking FACT: • 30% of the elective surgical population will be smokers • Stopping smoking is the single biggest thing you can do to improve your health. • The systems most commonly affected by smoking are pulmonary function, cardiovascular function, the immune response, and tissue healing. • The most common complication related to smoking is impaired wound and tissue healing and wound infection, and cardiopulmonary complications.

  14. Smoking in pregnancy FACT: • Increased risk of miscarriage and stillbirth • Increased chance of pre-term birth (premature babies) and low-birth weight TIPS: • Even if the pregnant woman / new mother does not smoke, there may be partners or others in the household who smoke? Second-hand smoke can still damage an unborn baby or a new born baby.

  20. Alcohol units

  21. How to calculate units in mls • Multiply the percentage ABV by the volume/amount of drink in millilitres then divide by 1000. • For example with a 13% ABV glass of wine in 175ml glass • 13 (%ABV) X 175 (amount) = 2275 • Divided by 1000 = 2.275 ie 2.3 units

  22. Unit Calculation in cl. Multiply % alcohol content By volume in centilitres (cl's) Then divide it all by 100 eg 10.5 Units 14 x 75 = 100

  23. Royal college of Physicians Guidelines Sensible drinking guide suggests 2 drink free days.

  24. Alcohol Withdrawal • Some patients are not troubled by alcohol withdrawal • 40% will develop an acute withdrawal syndrome upon stopping or significantly curtailing alcohol intake • The risk of withdrawal is not directly related to intake (DTB 1991, Morgan 1998) • The alcohol withdrawal syndrome may be a continuum from simple tremulousness (the most common symptom) through to seizures and more severely, life threatening delirium tremens (Hall 1997, Rubino 1992, Turner 1989)

  25. Symptoms of uncomplicated alcohol withdrawal • Characteristic tremor, starting in the hands but progressing to the head and trunk as the severity worsens • Anxiety, restlessness, irritability, depression, insomnia and tiredness • Anorexia, nausea and weakness • Confusion • Sweating, Tachycardia (100+ b.p.m), Raised BP, Fever (37-38).

  40. Health improvement Behavioural Change Educational Approach Social Change ©

  41. The Behavioural Change approach Aim: to help individuals adopt healthy behaviours Methods used in this approach are targeted at the individual One-to-Onee.g. goal setting / action plans Education ©

  42. Brief Advice – Level 1 BRIEF ADVICE is pro-actively raising awareness of, and assessing a person’s willingness to engage in further discussion about, healthy lifestyle issues. It is usually given opportunistically. It normally takes between 30 seconds to 3 minutes ©

  43. What to do? Remember: • Ask open questions. • Advise on how to make changes, ask service user to suggest how they might make changes. • Act – help the service user to set their own goals or access further help (signpost). Remember to think about the environment – privacy, comfort

  44. Considerations • Time - it might only take 30 seconds to ask a question. • You need to start from where the service user is, not where you think they are or where they should be. • You need to be open minded not critical or judgemental. • Brief advice is working with the individual on their health goals. You are not lecturing them or telling them what to do. • You are providing simple, clear advice and signposting. • You can’t always tell what is going on from outward appearances. You are not expected to be a counsellor.
