Improving Children, Young People & Family’s experiences of care Strategic Framework Kath Evans, Head of Patient Experience for Maternity, Newborn, CYP, NHS England
Thoughts to ponder on… • How are you working to improve CYP/family experiences of care? • CYP/family involvement goes hand in hand with this – how are you achieving this? • Are there hints & tips, resources that you could share to help others? • What would our top 10 high impact actions be to improve CYP/family experiences of care?
The policy background • Health and Social Care Act (2012) • UN Convention Rights of the Child (1989) • Children and Families Act (2014) section 19 • CMO Report (2012) CYP Health Manifesto for Health and Wellbeing • Francis Report (2013)
Consistently seeing care from patients’ perspective Five themes for improving experiences - changing the future • Culture: Creating a climate for improvement • Transparency: Tackling poor care • Co-creating improvement • Measurement, action & feedback
Complexity of CYP & family commissioning Priority: those who are seldom heard, who are they? Insight tools: Friends and Family test, PREMS/PROMS/PCOMS, Surveys e.g. inpatient,Focus groups/Youth groups, social media, compliments and complaints.
Examples of good practice • Nationally: NHS England NHS Youth forum and Takeover day • CCGs: Shropshire Clinical Commissioning Group recruit ‘Young Health Champions’ , AYPH bringing YP and GPs together – GP Toolkit 4/3/15 • Providers: East & North Herts have 650 Young People as Trust members undertaking projects, Blackpool University FT, Young People provide medical staff with communication training at induction. • vimeo.com/m/108800527
