Oxfordshire’s …
• Social care workers are poorly educated – Less educated than regional and national peers– 54% of care workers have no qualifications
• More reasons to leave than stay? – Few opportunities for career development– 8.5 care worker jobs for every 1 senior care worker job– Workers do not stay in their roles as long as regional and national peers
• Managers are older, less qualified and less experienced – 40% of registered managers are over 55– 23% don’t have a level 4 qualification
– Registered managers are older, less qualified and have been in post for less time than regional and national averages
Capability

OxfordshireClinical Commissioning Group
Proactive Medical Support to Care Homes 2015
New scheme introduced early 2015 to align care home with specific GP practice and provide scheduled weekly GP visit with the aim of providing more anticipatory care to improve quality of care and reduce inappropriate hospital admissions
![Page 16: Oxfordshire Care Home Provider Meeting 19 November 2015](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697c0011a28abf838cc2aa4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
OxfordshireClinical Commissioning Group
Features of anticipatory care
Documented advance care planning-what are wishes in the event of deterioration/end of life (preferred place of care, “ceiling” of care, resuscitation status ). Documentation needs to be readily accessible to care home staff and available for patient/next of kin
Reviewing medication regularly – drugs no longer required (eg antidepressants, BP medication), drugs where potential harmful side effects outweigh benefits , drugs which may improve patient quality of life
Identifying medical problems early to prevent escalations
Ensuring supportive measures for end-of-life care in place
(good communication with staff/family, anticipatory drugs etc)
![Page 17: Oxfordshire Care Home Provider Meeting 19 November 2015](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697c0011a28abf838cc2aa4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
OxfordshireClinical Commissioning Group
Challenges implementing scheme
• Considerable and growing pressure on GP practices – eg ageing population and increasing complexity of patient problems
• Some are experiencing recruitment difficulties• Historical or current difficulties in managing care home
patients• Perceived workload problems with providing the care
required under this scheme• Some consider payments under the scheme insufficient• Some concern residents will no longer be able to stay with
existing GP where patient preference is for this to happen
![Page 18: Oxfordshire Care Home Provider Meeting 19 November 2015](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697c0011a28abf838cc2aa4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
OxfordshireClinical Commissioning Group
How is it going?• Slow but steady take-up of the scheme among GP
practices• Initial data on emergency hospital admissions
show encouraging reductions• First 6 month data collection from practices in the
scheme appears to show good compliance with scheme
• Survey underway to collect feedback from care homes, GPs and Care Home Support Service to inform any adjustments at formal review early 2016

OxfordshireClinical Commissioning Group
What can care homes do to be “taken on” by practices (if this is wanted) ?
• Use support provided by Care Home Support Service to ensure organisational aspects of scheme are in place
• Obtaining good background medical information on each new resident at time of admission including accurate and up-to-date medication
• CHSS may also be able to help with aspects of optimising patient care to reduce GP time doing so
• Assisting with advance care planning • Discuss with practices their concerns and anything that might
help
![Page 25: Oxfordshire Care Home Provider Meeting 19 November 2015](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697c0011a28abf838cc2aa4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
OxfordshireClinical Commissioning Group
The future?Emerging strategy across health care providers and commissioners for out-of-hospital carePromoting ambulatory care (ie specialist input
but without a hospital admission)Preventing patients medically fit for discharge
staying in hospital by providing more rehabilitation support and care in their home setting
Possibly expanding “intermediate care” beds in nursing homes ie patients transitioning from hospital to home

Half of this is ‘avoidable’Avoidable waste could fund 6557

Enquiries not investigations or assessments
• Establish facts• Ascertain adult’s views and wishes• Assess need for protection, support and redress. How might
they be met?• Protect from the abuse and neglect, in accordance with
wishes of adult where possible• Decide follow-up action for those responsible for the
abuse/neglect• Enable the adult to achieve resolution and recovery

Changes in SafeguardingSection 42
Duty to make enquiries
Local authorities must make enquiries, or cause others to do so, if they reasonably suspect an adult who meets the criteria is, or is at risk of, being abused or neglected.
This duty continues until it decides what action is necessary to protect the adult and by whom and ensures itself that this action has been taken.
![Page 52: Oxfordshire Care Home Provider Meeting 19 November 2015](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697c0011a28abf838cc2aa4/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Changes in Safeguarding Making safeguarding personal? (1)
At the start of the process a person should be able to say:
The help I received made my situation
better
People asked what I wanted to happen
and worked together with me
to get it.
When things started to go wrong, people around me noticed and acted
early.
I got the help I needed by those in the best placed to
give it.
I understood the reasons when
decisions were made that I didn’t agree
with.
People will learn from my experience and use it to help others
![Page 53: Oxfordshire Care Home Provider Meeting 19 November 2015](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697c0011a28abf838cc2aa4/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Changes in Safeguarding Making safeguarding personal? (2)
I felt safe and in control
People understood me – recognised and
