We are a bit odd…..
Mobile workforce Trust wide contracts 30% off site Flat… Stability Flexibility Willingness to try… Rural pressures Lots of Hub & Spoke Ageing population
Beginnings
3 Trusts into 1 Very low baseline ££££ difficulties Inefficient clinical model Unsustainable services Recruitment difficulties Staff unsettled Political pressures
12 years
A Need for Change….
Key numbers….83 84 More of the same was not an option….
Why not be radical?….
A whole system change….. Create a Specialist Emergency Care Centre Split Elective / Emergency work 24/7 resident Consultant in Emergency Care Extended working day 7/7 , 9 clinical teams Change DGH s for elective / community care KIDD.
Develop Ambulatory Care Elderly assessment Surgical assessment Direct access to palliative care
