Health and social care in England is going through a period of significant change. A range of national programmes are changing the way services are delivered, to align every-day practice with the vision set out in the five year forward view (5YFV)

While there is national direction and oversight of these programmes, how they work in practice will be determined locally. Key stakeholders including those from the Third sector; the voluntary community and social enterprise sectors, need to engage in and influence these programmes as they develop.

The 5YFV covers a number of themes, such as the importance of public health and ill-health prevention, empowering patients and communities, strengthening primary care and making further efficiencies within the health service.

​What's happening in the East Midlands?

The new care models 'vanguard' sites

The theme receiving most attention is the new models of care. Seen as one of the first steps for delivering the shared vision for the future of the NHS in the five year forward view (5YFV) the new care models programme supports the improvement and integration of NHS Services.

The divide between primary care, community care and care in hospitals is seen increasingly as a barrier to coordinated services. While developing strategic plans across local areas is not new, new care models are being actively promoted across England to develop blueprints that can be adopted across the rest of the health and social care system. The models aim to break down the artificial divides between different parts of the health service, as well as between the NHS and social care.

The success regime

In June 2015, NHS England identified three challenged local health and care economies, including Essex, where the conditions necessary to change do not exist. The success regime is designed to address the systemic issues in these areas.

The Prime Minister’s Challenge Fund (GP access fund)

 

In 2014, the prime minister announced a new challenge fund to help improve access to general practice and stimulate innovative ways of providing primary care services. Across two waves, 57 pilots, covering over 2,500 practices, were chosen to test these new methods.

(please click on the headings below for more information about the Prime Minister's Challenge Fund in the East Midlands) 

Phase 1 Pilots

Transforming General Practice in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire (Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire)

The pilot offers extended hours in centrally located hubs, seven days a week; patients access services via hubs in the area. There are new ways to access consultations: by phone, email, video; and telecare to help people to better manage conditions at home.

Phase 2 Pilots

Improving and integrating access in primary care in Leicester delivered through locality hubs

The GP practices within Leicester City identified a need to build a new environment for primary care provision based around four locality hubs situated within identified Health Needs Neighbourhoods (HNNs).

Integrated Care Pioneers

In 2013, national partners asked local areas (NHS and local government together) to express an interest in becoming pioneers to act as exemplars, demonstrating the use of ambitious and innovative approaches to efficiently deliver integrated care. Following an independent selection process, 14 pioneer sites across England were announced in November 2013. The selection process was then repeated in the autumn of 2014, and a further 11 pioneer sites joined the programme in January 2015.

Integrated Personal Commissioning (IPC) Demonstrator Sites

 

In 2014, nine demonstrator sites were selected for the IPC programme to allow individuals, commissioners and the voluntary sector to blend comprehensive health and social care funding, allowing the patient to direct how it is used.

IPC is a new approach to joining up health, social care and other services at the level of the individual. It enables people, carers and families to blend and control the resources available to them across the system in order to ‘commission’ their own care through personalised care planning and personal budgets. In tandem, IPC also supports people to develop their knowledge, skills and confidence to self-manage through partnerships with the voluntary and community sector (VCSE), community capacity building and peer support.

Diabetes Demonstrator sites

In December 2014, NHS England announced in the Five Year Forward View into Action planning guidance that it would establish a national Type 2 Diabetes Prevention Programme in partnership with Public Health England (PHE) and Diabetes UK. Seven demonstrator sites have been testing innovative approaches to programme delivery for the last year and this learning has shaped the final programme to get the best results for patients  

The programme launch coincides with PHE’s new national campaign, One You, which encourages people in midlife to take control of their health and make better lifestyle choices – helping them to prevent ill health and help them live well for longer.

First wave

In a phased approach 27 areas will open their doors to patients in the next few months and throughout 2016 including: 

• East Midlands
• North East Lincolnshire
• Derbyshire
