How we plan to achieve our goals

We plan to keep improving the health and wellbeing of the people of Islington by doing the following:

• Finding new ways of working

• Providing value for money

• Working together

We’re proud of what we’ve achieved in our first year and we look forward to working with our partners and the people of Islington to improve the health and wellbeing of all our residents in the years ahead.

The Next Five Years

• Focus and prevention• Work with people to design new services• Improve access and quality in primary care• GP practice the centre of joined up health and

social care• Manage care better by planning ahead have

having a single point of contact• Help people to manage their own care

Islington CCG and Council are working together with local health providers and the voluntary sector to deliver ‘joined-up’, co-ordinated and patient centred care, even if this care is provided by several different organisations.

Islington’s Integrated Care Programme is one of just 14 sites in England to have been granted Pioneer status, demonstrating a national confidence in our approach.

Together, we are working to bring healthcare and social care closer together and to make life easier for patients.

Proactive Care

More health prevention by working in partnerships to reduce morbidity, premature mortality, health inequalities, and the future burden of disease in the capital. Treating the causes, not just the

symptoms.

In order to ensure high quality care for all patients in London, a new specification (patient offer) is being developed based on the areas which patients and clinicians have told us is most important:

Vision for primary co commissioning in London

Commissioning Intentions for 2015/16

Some of our key priorities for 2015/16, as a stepping stone to our Five Year Plan are:

• Development of locality based services across primary care , community services, social care, and mental health services.

To provide more joined up care for people with complex needs

To improve the health and wellbeing of the broader population

• Linking IT systems across organisations to allow information flows to replicate patient flows, and to develop a Person Held Record (PHR). This is called Interoperability.

• Care closer to home with community clinics for gynaecology, dermatology, ophthalmology,

• Developing our model for urgent care services including how to better align NHS 111and GP out-of-hours services

• Ensure we meet new legislation including Social Care Act; Special Education Needs (SEN) reforms

• Systems resilience – delivering NHS Constitution measures for A&E and waiting times for surgery

• Co-commissioning of primary care with NHS England
