Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group A new approach to commissioning health care
What is commissioning? Starts with understanding: • What are the health needs of the Oxfordshire population? • What is the budget allocated to Oxfordshire? • What should the priorities be? • What difference are we trying to make and how will we know if we have achieved it?
What is clinical commissioning? Clinicians leading the commissioning: • Clinicians in primary and community health care know the needs of their local communities • GP practices as the building blocks so approach is bottom-up • Clinical leaders for each locality taking responsibility for planning and prioritising • Using management expertise to support decision-making
Who’s who GP Lead for OCCG – Dr Stephen Richards GP leads for 6 Localities: • Oxford City: Dr Joe McManners & Dr Peter von Eichstorff • South East: Dr Andrew Burnett • South West: Dr Gavin Bartholomew • North East: Dr John Galuszka • North: Dr Mary Keenan • West: Dr Joe Santos
Where are we now? • Working on governance arrangements so decisions can be made • Clinicians leading all key workstreams • Defining our Vision for health services in Oxon • Consulting on our Communications and Engagement Strategy
What next? • Ambitious about making a real difference for patients • Clinicians leading improvements • Taking accountability for delivery of key programmes of work • Setting priorities
What will be different? GPs will work with clinicians from hospitals and the community, alongside the people of Oxfordshire, to develop health care services that will: • help people to help themselves • help people who are ill recover better • have integrated health and social care teams • bring care closer to home • review the provision of ineffective or inefficient services and treatments
Early involvement in discussions about changes to local health services. Online collaboration – OCCG piloting an online collaboration system for different subjects and issues. This will allow engagement and input from OCVA in work of OCCG. ‘Voice at the table’ – respond to the Communications & Engagement Strategy ‘through the transition’ consultation available on www.oxfordshireccg.nhs.uk.
