Supporting primary care networks to develop new care pathways for people at risk of CVD
Innovation and training in primary care redesign
Approximately 15 million people in England are living with long term conditions (LTCs) and have the greatest healthcare needs of the population (50% of all GP appointments and 70% of all bed days). It is estimated that treatment and care of this cohort absorbs 70% of acute and primary care budgets in England.
The NHS Long Term Plan made a commitment to provide extra support for prevention and management of disease, however, further work is required to develop data driven solutions to identify the patients that would benefit from early intervention.
The opportunity
The National CLEAR Programme with NHS England is offering support to two PCNs to:
• identify patients from PCN data who are at risk of developing CVD and other related long-term conditions in line with the Network Contract DES
• design innovative new models of care and workforce to proactively care for this population cohort.
Prospective organisations will submit expressions of interest to CLEAR and NHSE.
More detail on the type of support is detailed below. If you have any questions about the offer, please contact info@33n.co.uk.
What will it involve?
We are inviting PCNs in England to submit an expression of interest (EOI) to take part in the CLEAR Living Well programme.
This is a competitive process with places limited to two PCNs in England.
The projects are performed concurrently to ensure shared learning and education between projects and across systems. This means that the timelines for network preparation and on-the-ground delivery are fixed to ensure the successful choreography of all project sites together.
A successful expression of interest will require the full commitment and input from:
• Executive sponsor for the project
• Clinical lead for the project
• Network team leads for information governance (IG) and data.
The requirements for each role are outlined fully within the EOI document. A successful EOI will need the representatives listed above to have completed relevant agreements, which are found within the EOI.
