TRANSCRIPT
Northern England Strategic Clinical Network15th May 2015 - Conference
Cardiovascular UpdateDr D Muir & Dr JP Bourke
Top 3 achievements to celebrate and share
• Something fundamental: Stakeholder engagement & strong sub-group structure Helping deliver the National Priorities for Health
• Something winning national acclaim: Familial hyperlipidaemia service Commissioning by Evaluation (LAA-occlusion; PFO-closure)
• Something things highly practical: NOAC – patient alert card Help & advice for specialist commissioners Care pathway for heart failure & defibrillator services
Top 3 priorities Looking ahead (2015-17)
Priorities
• Focus on themes common to stroke, renal & DM
• Continue to foster clinical relations across 10, 20 & specialist care providers
• Ensure that quality of care is not compromised over time by an inappropriate focus on financial rectitude.
Expected outcome
• Stop ‘working in silos’ to facilitate greater effectiveness
• Resist adverse consequences of ‘health-care market’ mentality, eroding patient care over time
• Highlight any clinically inappropriate consequences of financial constraints
What we need & what we fear
Needed to achieve top 3 priorities
• Clear vision by clinical network leads & effective clinical team-working within the specialty
• Clinicians to remain ‘patient-focused’ at all stages of care-planning & delivery
• Manpower / recruitment & other essential resources
What might stop this happening
• Low morale & lack of stake-holder engagement, combined with competing time pressures
• Break-up of traditional work-ethos / fragmentation of care delivery arrangements …. ‘the devil take the hindmost’
• Insolvency / NHS no longer viewed as a good career
