| 4. PRG:
OCH PRG Reps are P. Alford, A. Alford, C. Marriott (when available) 7/11/18 PRG report from Paul Alford A presentation was made by Admiral nurses, who describe themselves as the “Macmillan Nurses of Dementia Care”. They consist of 3 geographically based workers in Wallington, Sutton and Cheam & Worcester Park plus a supervisor. They are funded by Sutton CCG but very close to London Borough of Sutton offering support for sufferers of dementia plus their carers where appropriate. The speaker stated that GP awareness in Sutton CCG is rather patchy, so could delegates ascertain whether their practice is aware of the service. They can be contacted from Monday to Friday, between 10am and 4 pm on 02087705327 or at any time a message can be left on admiral.nurseteam@NHS.net. The Core Group meeting confirmed that the Practice are aware of and use the Admiral Nursing Team. The second presentation was by Lou Naidu, Head of Primary Care, Sutton CCG, regarding Primary Care Contracting in Sutton CCG. This is a dense 15 page presentation, so a copy will be made available for reading. A presentation was made of a South West London initiative called Connecting Your Care. This appears to be an extension of the current connection available between Sutton CCG practices and Epsom and St. Helier hospitals giving access to GP records when in hospital. The plan is for Epsom, St. Helier, St. George’s, Croydon and Kingston hospitals to have access to GP records plus each other’s records of patients being treated. The records would be “read only”, thus not stored with the person accessing the information. The plan would be automatically “opt-in” but everybody would have the opportunity to opt out. A short presentation was made of Improving Healthcare Together, the local plan for the organisation of treatment between the St. Helier, Epsom and the new Sutton hospital sites. There have been 12 separate events with 16 criteria to be discussed. Dates of future meetings – not yet set for 2019 Healthwatch Sutton is contracted by the SCCG to run PRG meetings. |
