Annual Members’ Meeting 2012The Year in ReviewNerissa Vaughan Chief Executive
The environment we’re working in A period of uncertainty and change • Health and Social Care Act 2012 made into law after considerable debate • The shift in responsibility for commissioning has begun – moving from Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) to GPs (via Clinical Commissioning Groups – CCGs). • PCTs and Strategic Health Authority (SHAs) due to be abolished in March 2013 • National Commissioning Board established • Local Involvement Networks to be abolished and replaced with Health Watch organisations • Local Health and Wellbeing Boards bringing together health, social care, local authority, and CCGs to work in a more joined up way • A range of other bodies set up as part of the new structure of the NHS
The NHS is facing “zero growth” in NHS spending compared to an historic average of 3.2% a year
A challenging but successful year • 2011-2012 • Merger with WCHS – most significant change in past year • The first year spent aligning services, getting to know people and understand what works and what we could do better together • Work started on delivering the benefits of an integrated organisation: • Improving patient flow across the Trust – GWH and community staff, Social Services and GPs • Productive Ward being rolled out across the Trust • Developing a new Ambulatory Care service • Appointment of Interim Chief Nurse, Hilary Walker, to lead work on raising profile of nursing
A challenging but successful year • 2011-2012 - continued • Very good performance across over 200 key indicators • Just two cases of MRSA across the Trust (out of 1.3m pt contacts) • 19 cases of Clostridium difficile (C.diff) – 50 fewer than the threshold • Just one case of Grade 4 pressure ulcer at GWH, 10 fewer than last year • 23 cases of Grade 3 and 4 in community – well below 40 threshold • GWH became a designated Trauma Unit in April 2012 • Improvements in PEAT scores – especially Princess Anne Wing at the Royal United Hospital in Bath
A challenging but successful year • 2011-2012 - continued • In the top three Trusts in the South West in the latest independent staff survey results (and in top 20% nationally for staff satisfaction) CQC Staff Survey • 9/10 patients rate their care as good or excellent • From over 1.4m patient contacts last year we received 444 formal complaints – which is 0.03% of the patients we cared for • Compared with the previous year when we were responsible solely for the GWH, we had 242 complaints representing 0.04% of patients we cared for • Increased the number of parking spaces for patients at visitors at the GWH by 10%. After some teething problems the new pay on exit system now means the car park reaches capacity on far fewer occasions than before
Areas for improvement • Endoscopy • National growth in demand in all Endoscopy units being experienced nationally • PCT Performance notice to improve Endoscopy six week waiting times by October • GWH now on track to deliver against the trajectory • All fast track and urgent patients treated within appropriate timescales. Improvements also taking place to provide capacity for this growth and improve the estate to provide more single sex accommodation
Areas for improvement • Clinical correspondence – clinic letters to be typed and sent to GPs within two working days • A challenging target which the Trust has continued to focus on improving the speed with which letters are sent to GPs • Over the course of the year there has been gradual improvements • Delayed Transfers of Care • Over the course of the year there’s been a rise in the number of patients who are medically fit to be discharged but who remain in hospital • Big challenge for health and social care as it relies on both social care and the NHS playing its part • Working together with Local Authorities to tackle this problem to free up beds
Extra scrutiny • Nine unannounced inspections from the Care Quality Commission in 12 months across the Trust – five at GWH and four in the community. • Concerns raised: • Hydration document on wards • Consistency of safety checks in theatres • Use of Extra Bed Spaces (EBS) on the wards • Following sustained focus, as the Trust we’ve now been given the all clear and are compliant with every area the CQC measure. • Hydration documentation is much improved (and acting as an example to other Trusts) • Consistent implementation of the World Health Organisation (WHO) Safer Surgical Checklist and Team Briefing in theatres has improved processes • By the end of September the final few Extra Bed Spaces will be removed which is good news for patients and good news for staff • We expect many more inspections over the next 12 months
The year ahead (1) A new strategy • An ageing population, rising costs, increasing competition, reductions in funding, new technology and drugs and rising expectations mean we can’t stand still. • Work has begun on developing a new five year strategy for the Trust – designed to put us in the best position to meet future challenges • Six workstreams are looking at where we need to get to, to provide patients with the best services not just now but in the future: • Maternity • Patient Flow • New Technology • Long Term Conditions • Community Hospitals & Neighbourhood Teams • Marketing • We want to be the Trust that delivers the best for our patients and commissioners.
The year ahead (2) Pay and Reward • Regional Pay, Terms and Conditions Consortium established to look at options around how we can meet the financial and operational challenges in the future • 20 Trusts involved • 70% of our income is spent on pay – this year pay pressure has added an extra £1.7m on our pay bill and this pressure grows each year • We’ve already looked at a whole range of other areas where we can reduce cost and we need to seriously look at what we do with pay and reward • The aim is to avoid some of the more difficult decisions we may have to make in the future if we don’t deliver savings i.e. redundancies • No decisions on what this means in practice for staff have been made – work at this stage is simply looking at the options • Final decision rests with the Trust Board here
