Foreword from Joint Accountable Officer and Clinical Chair It has been a busy twelve months for us as a Clinical Commissioning Group and during that time we have seen some really exciting developments, as well as a number of changes. Following a number of changes in the CCG’s executive management team, we both took up our roles at Surrey Downs during the year. This has given the organisation continuity in its leadership and it has also helped facilitate closer working across Guildford and Waverley, North West Surrey and Surrey Downs CCGs, and across the wider Surrey Heartlands Health and Care Partnership. To further strengthen these arrangements, in November our new Joint Executive Team took up their posts. This includes a number of posts that are shared across the three organisations and signalled the start of a much more collaborative way of working across the three organisations. This closer working offers many benefits in terms of efficiency and working smarter, where we can share our resources and reduce duplication. However, the local focus remains crucial and each organisation will continue to operate as a statutory organisation, at a very local level, to commission healthcare services that are tailored to the needs of local populations and local communities. Through our coming together as the Surrey Heartlands Health and Care Partnership, which covers a population of around 850,000 people across the areas covered by the three CCGs, we can work together, with local healthcare organisations, to address some of the bigger challenges we face as a system. This will compliment and support the work happening at a local level and help us deliver improvements at scale, across a wider geography, bringing together commissioners and healthcare providers to work as one team to deliver the improvements needed to make the local health economy work more effectively. As a commissioning group, a key focus for us is looking for ways to improve care for local people and over the past twelve months we have introduced a range of new initiatives and services that have made a real difference. For example, we have introduced a new community dermatology service for people with skin problems that is helping to detect and diagnose problems much earlier, in GP practices. In the past, these patients would have been referred on for a hospital appointment so this new service, which has recently won a Health Service Journal Award for its use of new technology, is helping patients to be seen more quickly, leading to more rapid detection of skin cancer. This year we have continued to work with High Street optometrists to offer a wider range of eye care services in the community and we have launched a new community glaucoma monitoring service, which means people with cataracts who are now in a stable condition can be monitored and supported by a local community team. Given our ageing population, and that long-term health conditions are much more common as we get older, supporting our older and frail members of the community is another important area we are continuing to invest in.
