Strategic Clinical Networks • Cancer • Cardiac • Mental Health/Neuro • Maternity/Children • “The number of SCNs for the agreed conditions will be for local determination” (SOF)
Operational Delivery Networks Provider based Focussed on coordinating patient pathways between providers. The Way Forward: Operational Delivery Networks – to be published by end Nov. e.g. • Critical Care • Trauma • Burns
East of England SCN Hub Now will include 28 staff but covers all 4 SCN services and all of EOE Medical Director of East Anglia LAT – interviews were held 16/11/12…. Band 9 (Associate Director) interviews will be 3/12/12…. Interviews for all other staff during Dec.2012
Configuration • Cancer and Cardiac Network Directors have requested that some staff are based locally – could be 6 or 7 in local offices • But covering all 4 SCNs in the patch • MD and Associate Director (band 9) to decide on configuration
Resources • Significant funds also available at hub for ‘Pay to Commission’ work • Also some funding available for events, audit and other forms of clinical engagement. • Functions and work programmes to be confirmed by relevant domain leads
NHS Outcomes Framework The work of the NHS CB is organised around the five domains of the NHS Outcomes Framework: • Domain one - *Preventing people from dying prematurely • Domain two - Enhancing quality of life for people with long term conditions • Domain three -Helping people to recover from episodes of ill health or following injury • Domain four - Ensuring that people have a positive experience of care • Domain five - Treating and caring for people in a safe environment.

Strategic Clinical Networks Single Operating Framework • Published November 2012 (and on MVCN website) • “Clinical Networks are an NHS success story… • “SCNs will work across boundaries of commissioning and provision as engines for change”
Academic Health Science Networks “AHSNs will provide a systematic delivery system… working with industry to transform the identification and spread of innovation and best practice” “Whilst roles differ in many ways, they have complementary agendas & close alignment & collaboration are expected.. “It will be for local health communities to determine how these structures are best developed to meet local needs…”
Local Issues • 3 different AHSNs across MVCN • Part of EoE but also close to London • CCGs want local services for patients, where possible • London Market Forces Factor is a concern • Configuration of research networks?
Transition • “The status quo for existing network boundaries remains. Any future change will be for local network determination.” (M.Berry, East Anglia LAT) • NSSGs to continue work programmes • Patient pathways to remain in place • Must not slip backwards during transition
