He also welcomed Armeta Nabahi, Paediatrics, and Simon Lilley, Commercial Director, observing in the audience. Apologies for absence were received as above. 1- 2 DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST 84/15 2.1 Peter Wyman declared that he is Treasurer and Vice-Chairman of the Council of the University of Bath. 1- 3 PATIENT STORY 85/15 3.1 Helen Ryan introduced Ali Dowding and Jo Ryan who attended the Board to give an overview of a patient’s journey from admission to discharge. Ali Dowding spoke of a patient who was admitted following a collapse at home. Having completed the initial treatment and nearing discharge, the patient’s family had some concerns about them remaining at home independently, albeit in a warden controlled environment. YDH arranged a multi- disciplinary team assessment and with an enhanced package of care the patient was able to be discharged home, an outcome that was positively received by the patient and their family. The professionals involved in the multi-disciplinary team approach included: A&E staff, doctors, health care assistants, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, the dementia team, social workers, and transport services, among others. 3.2 The Board was pleased with the positive outcome but expressed concern about the level of intervention that was required from multiple teams and the time taken to discharge (3 weeks). Ali Dowding spoke of the complexity of the case and the importance of working with the patient and their family. The Board said the development of new models of integrated care will create more opportunities to manage these complex cases in a more efficient, streamlined manner. 1- 4 MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING 86/15 4.1 The minutes of the meeting held on 20 May 2015 were approved as a true and accurate record. 1- 5 ACTION SHEET 87/15 5.1 The Board reviewed the key outstanding actions not in progress or on the agenda, from which the Board noted that: 5.2 - 1-151/14 (NoF update), Jade Renville is liaising with Leah Allen to confirm a suitable date for the update to be presented at the Board. It was agreed this could be deferred until September 2015. 1- 6 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REPORT 88/15 6.1 Paul Mears presented highlights from the executive director report, from which the Board noted that: 6.2 Simon Sethi has been welcomed by the executive team as the Interim Director of Urgent Care and Long Term Conditions. His predecessor, Jonathan Higman, has assumed his new role as the Director of Strategic Development where he will co-ordinate the Trust’s strategic planning and implementation programme and ensure the Board is appraised of progress. 6.3 Dr Alex Bickerton, consultant in diabetes and endocrinology, has been selected as one of 16 national clinical champions for Diabetes UK, for which he was congratulated by the Board. Diabetes prevalence is increasing in the UK and the work of Dr Alex Bickerton will align well with Symphony and the development of new models of integrated care. 6.4 Mr Nader Francis, Colorectal Surgeon, and three of his colleagues from YDH recently attended the European Association of Endoscopic Surgeons (EAES) Congress. Four conference papers were presented by YDH clinicians with two of the papers winning top prizes and one winning the European cup. The Board congratulated Mr Nader Francis and the team for their success and Tim Scull agreed to write to him expressing the TS congratulations of the Board. 6.5 The Dorset acute services review is ongoing and formal public consultation will take place later in the year. Peter Wyman commented that the review raises potential risks and opportunities for YDH. Paul Mears confirmed that YDH remains in contact with Dorset CCG and Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust to engage with the process and to consider options for greater collaboration in the future. Following a question from Julian Grazebrook, Paul Mears confirmed the process is being led by the Dorset CCG with support from McKinsey. 2 | Page 6.6 An interim report by Lord Carter has been published setting out the opportunity for greater efficiency in hospitals through improved operational processes and procurement and trusts are likely to be benchmarked on delivery by the Department of Health. The Trust will review the full report when it is released in the autumn to consider learning which is applicable for YDH. The non-executive directors reflected on the work undertaken by Oliver Wyman to review the Trust’s internal efficiencies and cost improvement programme. Paul Mears said the key areas they had recommended were in connection with estates management, agency staffing and theatres. In terms of theatres, the “hospital effectiveness programme” has commenced to consider how improvements could be made in practice. The other areas identified also form part of the Trust’s 2015/16 cost improvement programme. 6.7 YDH has hosted a site visit from Monitor in order to review the Trust’s 2015/16 annual plan. The visit was constructive and Monitor spent time with the Trust’s key operational leads, the executive team and the finance department as part of the process. Monitor has also advised that they will allocate YDH a single point of contact to support the Trust with the development of new models of integrated care which was welcomed by the Board. They will also work with YDH on the development of a final business case to access transformation funding, alongside deficit support. The Board acknowledged that YDH is already incurring costs associated with the implementation of new models of care, which are being captured separately as part of the Trust’s financial reporting. They also spoke of the importance of the project being run efficiently and preventing delays wherever possible. Currently, the Monitor investigation into the Trust’s short term financial challenges is ongoing but it is expected this will soon be closed. Maurice Dunster asked of the role of the Somerset CCG in this process. Paul Mears said their key focus in this area would be the development of outcomes based commissioning, a seminar session on which would take place later this morning. Paul von der Heyde asked whether Monitor had challenged the Trust’s proposed levels of CIP. Paul Mears said YDH had planned a realistic cost improvement programme but it would be essential therefore that the full amount is achieved.
