It commented on the lack of outcome data available due to the early stages of the service implementation. It was therefore agreed that a report be prepared for the Board around 12 months from implementation. At its meeting in November 2019 the Board received an update on the planned service review of the centralised vascular services. The service review was expected to be completed by March 2020 following additional executive and clinical team discussion, analysis of new national data and external specialist clinical advice to help prepare actions arising from the review. The principle objective of the review was to assess the impact of the vascular services provided across the North Wales Vascular Network and incorporated the following: a) A review of the current provision and delivery of vascular surgery services in North Wales following the implementation of a centralised service in April 2019. b) The safety and accessibility of vascular services for all patients in the North Wales Vascular Network. c) The risk management and clinical governance arrangements of the North Wales Vascular Network. d) To identify lessons that can be learnt from these events: both examples of good practice and areas where improvement is required e) Clear recommendations for the consideration of the Health Board as to possible courses of action which may be taken to address any specific areas of concern which have been identified. 3 Cefndir / Background: The formation of the new North Wales Vascular Network is designed to make the service safe and sustainable, reducing the risk of the loss of local vascular services from North Wales. The detail of the review and its findings is set out in the following pages. The review identifies six areas for further work as follows:- Alignment of vascular inpatient bed base Pathways of care Engagement and Communication Quality and Safety Access to the Service External Review The specific actions for each area are detailed in the Action Plan which is attached as Appendix 30 Additional Note: The original timeline for conclusion of this review was March 2020. The March deadline was extended to align with the anticipated Community Health Council’s own report which is now attached at Appendix 31 and then the unprecedented pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic. During this pandemic the vascular service has reviewed activity in line with national guidance to ensure that it continues to deliver life and limb threatening interventions. A chronology of events has been compiled to support the content of the report. (Reference 1). Feedback on the review has been received from the Vascular Society of Great Britain and Ireland and is attached (Reference 2). Asesiad / Assessment & Analysis Strategy Implications This review examines the centralisation of vascular service at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd (YGC) to deliver a clinically approved safe service for complex and major arterial work at the hub supported by appropriate localised services at Bangor and Wrexham. Financial Implications The scope of this review did not include financial implications. Risk Analysis Risk assessments have been undertaken as part of the governance framework of the vascular network and are recorded within the report. 4 Legal and Compliance The report reviewed compliance with national benchmark standards and has also been shared

Introduction and Background 1 2. Findings 3 3. Conclusion and Next Steps 25 Annex 1: North Wales NHS Trust Internal 27 Audit Report Annex 2: Summary of Healthcare Standards 41 for Wales Annex 3: Maturity Level Definitions 49 Annex 4: Areas for Improvement 51 i ii Executive Summary In May 2005 the Welsh Assembly Government published Healthcare Standards for Wales, setting out a common framework to support the NHS and partner organisations in providing effective, timely and quality services across all healthcare settings. The standards are focused on improving the experience of patients and service users and placing them at the centre of the way in which services are planned and delivered, providing a basis for continuous improvement. North Wales NHS Trust is a new organisation, formed from the former North East Wales NHS Trust and the Conwy and Denbighshire NHS Trust. This is the first year in which the Trust has self-assessed its performance against each of the 32 standards and submitted its assessment to Healthcare Inspectorate Wales (HIW) for testing and validation. The reports for the two former organisations for the years 2006-07 and 2007-08 can be accessed from our website. As noted at paragraph 3.3, the North Wales NHS Trust will be dissolved as part of the current reorganisation of the NHS in Wales, its functions being assumed by the new Betsi Cadwaladr University Local Health Board.
