To receive a presentation from Caron Williams, Director Strategy & Planning, West Leicestershire Clinical Commissioning Group

A presentation on Better Care Together: Urgent and Emergency Care was received from Caron Williams, Director Strategy & Planning, West Leicestershire Clinical Commissioning Group.

During discussion the following points were noted:

a)    The Urgent and Emergency Care Plan was a ‘Vanguard Site’ – a frontrunner site meant to lead the way for better integration of health and social care.

b)    Actions for 2015 included an integrated Out of Hours (OOH) procurement.  Rutland had a very good broadband connections and it was proposed to use this in the provision of OOH support e.g. ambulance crews would use an iPad on site to link to a specialist such as a geriatric consultant specialising in falls.

c)    The majority of people did not want to go into hospital, they wanted to stay at home and the aim of the new OOH service was to keep people out of hospital and therefore decrease expenditure whilst increasing public satisfaction.  This message regarding the new service had to be communicated to the public.
