1 Improving stroke services in Coventry and Warwickshire - A public consultation Foreword

Welcome to our public consultation on stroke services in Coventry and Warwickshire. We are keen to outline the pre-consultation and planning work we have undertaken, with the help of our local clinicians, patients, carers, community groups and our dedicated patient advisory group, which has led to the proposed options for the future of this important service. The proposals outlined in the document have been co-developed by local health and social care professionals, including stroke clinicians. There is national and regional guidance for the delivery of stroke services. This guidance covers the care to be provided before, during and after having a stroke. Through our review of this guidance, and feedback from our pre-consultation work, we have identified local variations in stroke care, at both the hospital and rehabilitation services, which has led to an unequitable service across our city and county. When we looked into this more, it was clear that the services differed in what they offered from place to place, delivering different outcomes for patients, and they did not meet some of the principles of good care set out in national guidance. It was also clear from public feedback, from our partners at the Stroke Association and our dedicated group of patient and public representatives, that high quality, specialist stroke services were valued by people but there was also a desire for local rehabilitation services where possible. You will discover, as you read on, that we have looked in great detail at these concerns and have reviewed all the data and information available to us. This means we have clear picture of how to make sure the right stroke services are available at the right locations, when people need them most. Access to the right stroke care at the right time not only helps to prevent dying after a stroke, it also improves how well two thirds of patients recover after a stroke, including reducing the risk of being disabled. In this document you will find details of the current service and options for the future of stroke services. We want to assure you that what we’re trying to do is not about saving money and that the future options may cost slightly more than the services available now. It is our aim to provide better patient care and a better quality of life for local people after they have had a stroke or TIA (Transient Ischaemic Attack), sometimes called a mini-stroke. We are looking for your views as we need your help to look at the findings and help us to reach a decision. May we take this opportunity to thank you for reading this document and for taking the time to think about the information. Please let us know your views by using the feedback questionnaire at the end of the document. Your answers and your opinions count, they will be used by the NHS organisations which will be making the decisions about future stroke services in the area. The consultation will run from X January 2017 to X March 2017.

Improving stroke services in Coventry and Warwickshire - A public consultation 2 About this consultation document

The consultation document explains how stroke services are managed in Coventry and Warwickshire at the moment, and lays out a proposal for changes and the reasons for making them. The three clinical commissioning organisations in the region are committed to investing in stroke services as a priority for the local population.

It also asks you what you think of these changes and what should be considered when making them.

Please look through these pages and answer the short questionnaire at the end.

Your answers and your opinions do count. They will be used by the NHS organisations which will be making the decisions about future stroke services in the area.

The consultation will run from X January 2017 to X March 2017.

The case for change

Over the last few years, the NHS has been making improvements in stroke care as increasing evidence has been building about how the most effective diagnosis and treatment can be achieved.

Nationally there is a shortage of specialist stroke doctors and nurses. This means that it is very important to make best use of the specialists’ skills by concentrating them at central points.

To develop our proposal, we have taken into account national best practice, the regional stroke specification and feedback from clinicians, patients and the public. Current services in the region do not meet this national best practice guidance. Other areas have already implemented changes to improve services and we must now do the same in Coventry and Warwickshire.

All proposals have been co-developed with local stroke clinicians with an in-depth knowledge of the needs of patients in our region. The proposals outlined in this document have also been supported nationally by the Clinical Director for Stroke, Professor Tony Rudd, and across the wider region by the West Midlands Clinical Senate.

Who we are

We are three NHS clinical commissioning groups (CCGs): Coventry and Rugby, South Warwickshire and Warwickshire North. Clinical commissioning groups are the organisations which plan and pay for many of the major NHS healthcare services across the area. They are overseen by NHS England.

The CCGs, along with Healthwatch Warwickshire and Coventry, the Stroke Association and other social care colleagues, have worked with a number of key partners in this consultation. They are:

• University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust • South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust • George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust • Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust • West Midlands Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust

3 Improving stroke services in Coventry and Warwickshire - A public consultation • Warwickshire County Council • Coventry City Council These organisations cover services which are provided from a main hospital, and rehabilitation services, which could be provided from a hospital rehabilitation bed or at home to support stroke survivors regain their health following a stroke. This may include care such as physiotherapy and speech therapy.

What is a stroke?

A stroke is a rapid loss of brain function that occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off, leading to brain cells either being damaged or destroyed. Whilst largely preventable, stroke is one of the main causes of deaths in the UK and is also the leading cause of adult disability.

Strokes are medical emergencies and urgent treatment in the first 72 hours is essential, because the sooner a person receives an effective diagnosis and treatment for a stroke, the less brain damage is likely to occur.

There are two types of stroke: • An ischaemic stroke resulting from a blockage in one of the blood vessels leading to the brain • A haemorrhagic stroke resulting from a bleed in the brain. In addition, a transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or ‘mini-stroke’ is a sign that a person is at risk of going on to have a full stroke.

Although people often assume that only older people have strokes, in fact young and middle-aged people also experience strokes and these can have a huge impact on their life.

Improving stroke services in Coventry and Warwickshire - A public consultation 4 Stroke services in Coventry and Warwickshire

In 2012-13 just over There were over Over 1100 15k 700 in Coventry and Warwickshire stroke survivors on local GP’s people were diagnosed with a had a stroke and were taken to stroke registers ‘transient ischaemic attack’ (TIA) one of our three local hospitals sometimes called a ‘mini-stroke’

Current stroke services in Coventry and Warwickshire have developed over time as a result of local planning by individual healthcare organisations. While improvements in stroke and TIA or ‘mini stroke’ care have been made, further work is needed so more patients survive their stroke, and achieve the best level of recovery possible for them.

The three CCGs are working on this in partnership with local authorities and social care commissioners, hospital and community service providers and the Stroke Association.

The scope of our project is to look at the hyper-acute, acute and rehabilitation services. It will be useful for you to know about these three key parts of the stroke service and what they do for patients.

Hyper-Acute Stroke Unit (HASU) – The most specialist type of stroke unit – Patients are normally treated here when they have first had a stroke – Available in a small number of hospitals – Services include: thrombolysis (clot dissolving); immediate access to brain scans; experienced stroke physician 24 hours a day. – ‘Mini strokes’ also treated here

Acute Stroke Unit (ASU) – A specialist stroke unit – Patients are treated here after the initial few days of having a stroke and after having been in a Hyper-Acute Stroke Unit.

Rehabilitation Services – Services can be delivered from a variety of settings, including: A rehabilitation bed in a hospital; A rehabilitation bed in a specialist unit; In a patient’s home with healthcare support provided.

5 Improving stroke services in Coventry and Warwickshire - A public consultation Current local stroke services

Current stroke services in Coventry and Warwickshire are as follows:

• The service covers Coventry and Rugby and some patients from across Warwickshire

UNIVERSITY • Hyper-Acute Stroke Unit with 6 beds (Coventry) HOSPITAL, • Acute Stroke Unit with 30 beds (Coventry) WALSGRAVE, • Treatment for Transient Ischaemic Attacks 24/7 (Coventry/Rugby and high risk cases COVENTRY from South Warwickshire) • Inpatient rehabilitation with 6 beds (Hospital of St Cross, Rugby)

• The Acute Stroke Unit and the Stroke ‘step-down’ Unit are at Warwick Hospital • The Stroke Rehabilitation Unit is at Royal Leamington Spa Rehabilitation Hospital and covers South Warwickshire WARWICK • 12 Acute Stroke Unit beds (Warwick) HOSPITAL, WARWICK • Treatment for low risk Transient Ischaemic Attacks (Warwick) • Inpatient rehabilitation in 20 beds (Leamington) • Outreach rehabilitation in patients’ homes • Patients needing thrombolysis are sent to University Hospital in Coventry

• The service covers North Warwickshire, South West Leicestershire and parts of North GEORGE Coventry ELIOT • 18 Acute Stroke Unit beds plus 1 assessment bed HOSPITAL, • Treatment for Transient Ischaemic Attacks 24/7 NUNEATON • Outreach rehabilitation in patients’ homes • Patients needing thrombolysis are sent to University Hospital in Coventry

The current services in Coventry and Warwickshire are providing a good standard of care but they are not meeting national guidance and offer different levels of care depending on where you live in the area.

Patients may be moved through the stroke services system for diagnosis and treatment in a variety of ways, depending on where they were first taken ill.

Patients sometimes have to be transferred between hospitals in the early stages of their stroke care for specialist treatment.

Patients can also often stay longer in a main hospital than they need to, and when they would be happier and recover more quickly in a community bed or in their own homes, receiving the care they need.

National clinical guidance is that all patients with a suspected stroke should be treated in a Hyper Acute Stroke Unit as already established at University Hospital in Walsgrave, Coventry. However, at the moment this is not happening for everyone.

This situation is not giving everyone the best opportunity for optimum recovery from a stroke. If someone has a stroke, the first 72 hours are crucial. The quality of care people receive makes all the difference in how well they recover from the stroke, or whether they do recover. Particularly important are the first four to six hours. If people need to have thrombolysis to dissolve a clot that is causing the stroke, it is best for this to happen within a few hours as then the patient has a greater chance of a better recovery. Improving stroke services in Coventry and Warwickshire - A public consultation 6 The proposal for future stroke services

Future stroke services in Coventry and Warwickshire, based on the national stroke strategy and guidance could be as follows:

• Hyper-acute Stroke Unit and Acute Stroke Unit at University Hospital, Coventry • The service would cover the whole of Coventry & Warwickshire UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL, • Hyper-Acute Stroke Unit with 12 beds • Acute Stroke Unit with 31 beds WALSGRAVE, • Rehabilitation service in either Leamington Hospital, Central Rehabilitation Unit or George Eliot Hospital. COVENTRY • Treatment for Transient Ischaemic Attacks 24/7 • Outreach rehabilitation in patients’ homes

WARWICK • The acute stroke service at Warwick Hospital would close HOSPITAL, • A rehabilitation service would be provided in Leamington for South Warwickshire patients WARWICK • Outreach rehabilitation in patients’ homes

LEAMINGTON • Inpatient rehabilitation of 19 beds for Coventry, Rugby and South Warwickshire patients HOSPITAL

• The acute stroke service at George Eliot Hospital in Nuneaton would close GEORGE • A rehabilitation service would be provided at George Eliot Hospital for patients in North ELIOT HOSPITAL, Warwickshire and Nuneaton & Bedworth NUNEATON • Inpatient rehabilitation of 20 beds (includes beds for Coventry and Rugby patients) • Outreach rehabilitation in patients’ homes

In the proposed model there would be 39 rehabilitation beds altogether. In order to have the right level of skills in place, we are suggesting two dedicated stroke rehabilitation units with beds, one in Leamington and one at George Eliot Hospital. This will ensure we have the right nursing and therapy staff in the right place, but will be supplemented by greater availability of home based care. With early supported discharge and community rehabilitation those who are able to go home will do so. We now want your views on the future proposal. Our proposal is as follows:

Centralise acute stroke services at University Hospital in Coventry with stroke rehabilitation provided as close to home as possible.

All patients across the city and county would go to the Hyper-Acute and Acute Stroke Unit at University Hospital in Coventry, which is situated on Clifford Bridge Road, Walsgrave, Coventry, CV2 2DX. They would be diagnosed and treated there until they are ready for rehabilitation closer to home, either in a bedded rehabilitation unit or in their own home with clinical support. The Acute Stroke Units at Warwick Hospital and the George Eliot Hospital, Nuneaton, would no longer operate, as all patients would be treated in one specialist centre. However, community-based rehabilitation beds would be available in the north and south of Warwickshire. Overall, this new model would provide a ‘Centre of Excellence’ for patients across the whole of Warwickshire, meaning that wherever people lived or were when they had the stroke, they would receive the same level of specialist care in hospital, and the same level of rehabilitation, as near to their homes as possible. Hospitals, community beds and care in people’s homes would play its part in this ‘Centre of Excellence' approach.

7 Improving stroke services in Coventry and Warwickshire - A public consultation What does the proposal mean for patients?

To help you understand how the proposed changes might affect you, we have given you examples of a typical case below. These are based on real stories from stroke survivors:

Lucy's story… What happens now: Lucy was 41 and working as a deputy head teacher in Nuneaton when she was taken ill. She was not sure what was happening to her but a colleague thought that she had had a stroke, so she went to Accident and Emergency at George Eliot Hospital. She says: “I sat in the A&E for about an hour with no one around, and then had another TIA (sometimes known as a mini-stroke), so I was then rushed to the Walsgrave Hospital (University Hospital).”

Lucy was then in A&E at University Hospital in Coventry for a further 2-3 hours, where she was monitored every 15 minutes by a dedicated stroke sister. She was then admitted to the stroke ward where she then had a major stroke in the evening.

Following her stroke, Lucy was in University Hospital for five months receiving rehabilitation.

What could happen in the future: If Lucy was taken ill with a suspected stroke she would be taken straight to University Hospital, as this would be where the centralised acute stroke services would be located. She would then be assessed by the stroke team to determine whether she had had a stroke.

Having been diagnosed as having had a stroke, she would be treated according to her clinical needs, and would receive this treatment on the stroke unit at University Hospital. Over the next few days her condition would be closely monitored and she would be encouraged to start her rehabilitation as soon as possible, and be involved in the development of her rehabilitation goals.

Depending upon her medical and rehabilitation progress, she would be considered for discharge home, supported by the Early Supported Discharge (ESD) service, to continue her intensive rehabilitation, or, if this is not possible, she would be considered for transfer to a local stroke rehabilitation unit who would support her until she was ready to be safely discharged home. If required, she would also be offered community stroke rehabilitation after ESD on the bedded rehabilitation service; this would enable her to work towards achieving her jointly agreed rehabilitation goals.

Improving stroke services in Coventry and Warwickshire - A public consultation 8 David‘s story… What happens now: It was a Sunday night. David, aged 63, was tired and went to bed early at home in Leamington Spa.

During the middle of the night he felt that he needed to go to the bathroom. However he couldn’t sit up and so went back to sleep.

In the morning he sat up but when he stood up he collapsed. His wife called an ambulance at 9am. As he had been asleep the paramedics were unsure of exactly when his stroke had happened, as it could have been anytime during the night or early hours of the morning.

The paramedics decided he had passed the time limit for early thrombolysis treatment and so took him to Warwick Hospital. The paramedics made this decision, as they did not know the time of the onset for the stroke.

David believes that if he had gone to the hyper acute stroke unit at University Hospital (the Walsgrave), he would not have had as many problems following his stroke. The hyper acute unit would have provided more specialist treatment that he believes would have been a better choice for him.

What could happen in the future: The paramedics would take David, like all suspected stroke patients, to University Hospital for assessment, as the clinical evidence is that receiving stroke specialist care within the first 72 hours of when the stroke is thought to have happened has a direct impact on the outcome for the stroke patient.

On arrival at University Hospital, David would be assessed by the stroke team to determine whether he had had a stroke, and once this was confirmed, he would enter onto the stroke care pathway. This would involve being admitted directly to the stroke unit for further assessment and treatment, and then the onward care would be determined by David’s particular clinical needs.

The next section of this document demonstrates how we have developed this proposal. Please read it and then answer the questions at the end of the document to give us your views.

9 Improving stroke services in Coventry and Warwickshire - A public consultation National best practice

Evidence shows that patients are 25% more likely to survive or recover from a stroke if treated in a specialist centre. Patients need fast access to high-quality scanning facilities in order to diagnose the type of stroke, and assess those who are suitable for thrombolysis and those who would benefit from other treatments.

According to the National Stroke Strategy (created by the Department of Health in 2007), key changes in stroke care have contributed to a reduction in the chances of a patient dying within 10 years of having a stroke, from a 71% chance in 2006 to a 67% chance in 2010.

The reduction is largely due to improved co-ordination in stroke care, more patients receiving clot- removing thrombolysis when needed, and more patients receiving scans within 24 hours of admission to hospital, so that the optimum treatment and care can start as soon as possible.

It is also worth noting that nationally there is at present a shortage of specialist stroke doctors and nurses. This means that it is very important to make best use of the specialists’ skills by concentrating them at central points.

Improving stroke services in Coventry and Warwickshire - A public consultation 10 Regional Stroke Specification

Work has already been done regionally on designing a model of stroke care such as that described here. This Midlands and East Stroke Specification has already been put in place in Nottingham, Birmingham and Worcestershire. This regional specification builds on the national guidance.

Our proposal is based on this model and can be summarised as follows:

Hyper-Acute Care (the first 3 days following a stroke) All patients with a suspected stroke should be admitted to a hospital with a Hyper-Acute service to be seen immediately by a Stroke Team. They will be assessed by appropriately trained staff in a consultant-led Team, to determine likely diagnosis and suitability for thrombolysis and assessment of on-going care needs. The unit should have on site access to brain and artery scanning, and access to a Consultant Stroke Specialist 24 hours a day.

Acute Stroke Care (the remaining days whilst stroke is the main health issue) Access to a stroke-trained multi-disciplinary team should be available seven days a week. Access to (but not necessarily on site) brain and artery scanning. Surgery to open up narrowed arteries in the neck.

Transient Ischaemic Attack Treatment (TIA) (sometimes known as a mini-stroke) Rapid diagnosis and access to specialist care for high-risk patients, so lowering the risk of a full stroke. Surgery to open up narrowed arteries in the neck. Access to services seven days a week, with the facilities to diagnose and treat people with confirmed TIAs, and to manage people with conditions which appear similar to a TIA. Service led by a Specialist Stroke Consultant and provided by a suitable specialist with access to the Consultant Lead or Specialist Stroke Nurse.

Rehabilitation Services Services can be delivered from a variety of settings, including an inpatient rehabilitation bed in a hospital, an inpatient rehabilitation bed in a specialist unit, or in a patient’s home with healthcare support provided at home.

11 Improving stroke services in Coventry and Warwickshire - A public consultation Clinical and stakeholder feedback

Taking into account national best practice and the Midlands and East Stroke Specification, our initial work looked at four options, including options which kept small stroke units at both George Eliot Hospital and Warwick Hospital.

However, clinicians have told us that the best clinical outcomes for patients will only be achieved if there is centralised specialist care, with more extensive community support in the rehabilitation phase, in line with the new guidelines for stroke services. Key areas the clinicians and stakeholders considered:

Thrombolysis (dissolving of blood clot) • University Hospital in Coventry has the essential expertise in relation to thrombolysis. The clot busting drug ideally needs to be administered within four to six hours following a stroke. Locally, this is only done at University Hospital.

Hyper-Acute and Acute hospital beds • As a specialist unit would provide the best possible outcome for patients, there would be less need for beds in the other hospitals. • Patients would not need to remain in beds in hospitals when they actually need rehabilitation in the community.

Clinical skills • The current model does not always have enough patients coming to some units to provide enough practice for clinicians to hone and maintain their skills in hyper-acute stroke care, meaning that sometimes patients may need to be transferred between hospitals, using up valuable time.

Equity of service across the area • Clinicians were keen that there was clinical safety, quality, viability and equal provision across Coventry and Warwickshire, so it doesn’t matter where people live, they have access to the same range of stroke services, based in hospital and the community. • More centralised services would also help improve clinical practice, as the specialists would be working alongside each other, learning from each other and sharing expertise.

Rehabilitation • Clinicians and the public have all told us of the importance of providing rehabilitation services as close as possible to people’s homes. This would involve both bedded rehabilitation and multi- disciplinary teams going into people’s homes to provide care following a stroke. This includes medical care, physiotherapy and occupational therapy and social care, as required.

Improving stroke services in Coventry and Warwickshire - A public consultation 12 Public and patient feedback

We have carried out extensive initial engagement with patients, carers, the public and stroke services providers as well as doctors and nurses, to understand what their views, needs and concerns are. These responses were collected from Autumn 2014 and throughout 2015 and have been included in our preparation for this consultation.

We have committed to feed back, and to invite those that have already commented during the formulation of the proposal to take part in the next stages of the consultation.

We have also worked with local doctors, including GPs and stroke specialists, and the local Clinical Senate, to understand what the best clinical model is for patients in Coventry and Warwickshire.

We have looked at national and regional best practice for delivering stroke services and have taken advice from experts, including Professor Tony Rudd, National Clinical Director for Stroke.

There was a general acceptance of the need for intensive hyper-acute care as early as possible after a stroke and that patients were willing to travel to a specialist unit to get the best possible care.

Generally the initial feedback supports the fact that services cannot stay as they are, with most respondents acknowledging that something needed to change.

Travel time

The responses were mixed, mainly depending on location. The key issues are outlined below:

• People living near University Hospital in Coventry were happy with the scenario of immediate admission to the hyper-acute unit and longer term care on the acute ward. However many people living further afield throughout the county were very concerned about transport difficulties and expense that could be incurred if a longer term stay was necessary. • Another concern raised is the potential for increased travelling for relatives and carers if a patient remains at a central location, rather than being transferred back to a local hospital. • Public transport links are currently available between George Eliot Hospital, Nuneaton, and University Hospital in Coventry. There are links between University Hospital and Warwick Hospital but these involved a change of bus at Coventry rail station.

Ambulance travel times

• Consideration needs to be given to people's concerns that, during a stroke episode, if they are some distance from University Hospital, the increased travel time in an ambulance would negate the specialist care at the Hyper-Acute Stroke Unit. However, evidence shows that the benefits of this specialist care outweighs the additional travel time in an ambulance and all ambulance times are still well within emergency travel standards.

13 Improving stroke services in Coventry and Warwickshire - A public consultation Impact on other services

• Respondents raised the question that, if the stroke facilities were closed down at one hospital, would this mean subsequent closure of other facilities? CCGs have been conscious of ensuring that proposed changes to the stroke service do not impact negatively on other services.

• Whilst in the proposals George Eliot and Warwick Hospital will no longer be providing acute stroke services, they will be providing community rehabilitation beds for stroke patients.

Capacity at University Hospital, Coventry

• Respondents have asked that consideration is given to the potential for over-crowding at this hospital if all patients are transferred there initially. Concern was raised about the possibility of lack of beds for those most in need. CCGs are aware of the increased demand on this hospital - that is why they are also considering the best options for follow-on care, to ensure that people are transferred out of this hospital and returned to their local area as soon as their medical condition allows.

• Detailed work has been done to understand bed and staff numbers needed to meet future demand and University Hospital staff are confident that they can deliver the proposed new model.

Communication

• Consideration should also be given to the need for better communication between hospital units and consultants. There is a perception that one stroke team doesn’t (or can’t) communicate with their opposite numbers when a patient is transferred. The new stroke service would operate as a seamless, integrated team to ensure communication and seamless care is delivered.

Cost of the proposal

• The proposals will require investment in the improved and new services, including early supported discharge and community stroke rehabilitation services. The clinical commissioning groups are committed to putting in additional investment to give patients the best possible stroke services in line with national guidance.

Patient and Public Involvement

• Patient and stakeholder representatives from Coventry and Warwickshire have given feedback on every aspect of the stroke review process. A public and patient group, comprising of several stroke survivors, carers of stroke survivors, Healthwatch and chaired by the Stroke Association has met regularly throughout 2015/2016. This group has been invaluable in shaping the proposals for the future and the three clinical commissioning groups would like to formally thank them for their time and commitment to developing stoke services.

Consultation on Improving Stroke Services in Coventry & Warwickshire Communications, Engagement and Consultation Plan 2015/16

Date 27 Oct 2016 Version 9.0 Public consultation dates 9 January 2017 to 13 February 2017

Consultation on Improving Stroke Services in Coventry & Warwickshire

1. Introduction Stroke is a serious, life-threatening medical condition that occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off, due to a bleed or a blood vessel being blocked.

Whilst largely preventable, stroke is one of the main causes of deaths in the UK and is also the leading cause of adult disability. In Coventry and Warwickshire just over 1,100 people had a stroke and were taken to one of our three local hospitals in 2012/13. At this time, there were over 15,000 stroke survivors on local GPs’ stroke registers and just over 700 people diagnosed with a ‘mini-stroke’ or TIA.

Strokes are medical emergencies and urgent treatment in the first 72 hours is essential because the sooner a person receives an effective diagnosis and treatment for a stroke, the less damage is likely to occur.

Current stroke services in Coventry and Warwickshire have developed over time as a result of localised planning. While improvements in care have been made, further work is required to improve stroke care so that more patients survive their stroke, and stroke survivors can achieve their best level of recovery.

The three local CCGs are working together to strengthen the local good practice for those people who have suffered a stroke or a mini-stroke. The review has looked at both the hospital and community services where people receive stroke care.

This consultation is being run by three CCGs: NHS Coventry and Rugby CCG, NHS South Warwickshire CCG and NHS Warwickshire North CCG. The key partners in this consultation are:  University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust  South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust  George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust  Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust  West Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust  Warwickshire County Council  Coventry City Council  The Stroke Association

2. Consultation & Engagement Outcomes

 All stakeholders have had the opportunity to take part in the consultation and have their say

 Appropriate targeted engagement and consultation has taken place with relevant and seldom heard groups

 An informed and aware patient and public body that understands the reasons for change and the solution(s) proposed and has input to the final decision

 An involved local population including views obtained from those with protected characteristics

 An engaged workforce who are aware of the need for change and are comfortable with the process taking place to achieve change

 A well-run consultation which meets statutory guidelines and obtains views from a wide variety of publics.

3. Key messages

 The NHS is committed to ensuring a high quality, equitable and stroke service for the people of Coventry and Warwickshire

 Clinicians and patients have been involved throughout the development of the consultation and are at the heart of change

 Public and stakeholder involvement will make a difference to the care of future stroke patients and the quality of life of stroke survivors.

4. Stakeholder mapping and database

For the pre-consultation engagement process, stakeholder mapping took place and identified a wide variety of stakeholders and the best way to engage and consult with them. Information gathered during the pre-consultation engagement process provided a rich source of information. This has been coupled with a further stakeholder mapping process by Arden and GEM CSU which will inform the creation of an even more comprehensive stakeholder database including all statutory stakeholders, partners, and many organisations who are able to cascade to large numbers, as well as smaller groups and individuals.

It is this comprehensive stakeholder database that supports the activity outlined in the communications and engagement plan. Face-to-face engagement will be scheduled with seldom heard and patient groups before the consultation begins. The scope of the consultation across the three CCGs has meant that geography as well as demography has been of uppermost considerations in the design of the communications and engagement plan. This is because it is imperative that stakeholders, patients, carers and as many members of the public as possible from all areas are given the opportunity to feed into the consultation process. Existing engagement mechanisms across all CCGs will be included in the consultation process. PPAG stakeholder group

The PPAG have been part of the pre consultation engagement process and will continue to be part of the consultation process. Regular meetings for this group will be scheduled and arranged before the consultation begins. Patients who have experienced a stroke and their carers

These patients were a vital group in the pre consultation engagement and all groups involved previously will be invited to complete the consultation questionnaire. Disease specific groups at risk of stroke such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, alcohol related groups, smokers and those seeking help with being overweight or obese will also be included in the consultation plan as more scoping continues in preparation for the start of the consultation. 5. Consultation methodology

 Face to face briefings  Attendance/presentations at meetings e.g. stroke groups  Public meetings  Drop in sessions  Press releases  Newsletter articles  Web (intranet and internet) content

 Staff briefings  Consultation documents including questionnaire  Online questionnaire  Media coverage (print/radio/TV)  Individual MP meetings  Local Authority Community Forums  GP briefings

Opportunities for consulting via already existing channels are being scoped and included in the plan below. This includes providing information on the consultation via GP surgeries, PPG forums, practice manager forums, health champions, public health, and the voluntary sector and locality meetings. All meetings and opportunities of this kind across all three CCGs need to be accessed as an opportunity to keep clinicians and health care staff up to date and to encourage cascade to the widest patient and public community possible. These opportunities will be confirmed, speakers sources and then added as the consultation plan is further developed.

Campaigns already underway with the three CCGs or under consideration will also be included in the planning. WNCCG is currently undertaking a campaign in partnership with Public Health (One Change) to increase the diagnosis and treatment for patients living in Warwickshire North who are at risk of cardiovascular disease. The highest incidence of cardiovascular risk is in BME communities and areas of high social deprivation. The consultation programme will dovetail with engagement activity to give increased opportunities for people targeted by the campaign to feed into the consultation process. Children’s centres, shopping centres and supermarkets (places of high footfall) will be part of the One Change campaign and provide useful and appropriate consultation opportunities. Any other similar campaigns across the patch will be identified and added into the consultation plan, for example any winter campaigns, by dovetailing the consultation plan to achieve maximum reach.

The geographical distribution range will cover all three CCGs and their bordering areas. We know that areas of high social deprivation have high incidences of ill health and that people living in rural areas may have different concerns about changes to service provision than those living in urban areas, therefore geographical and demographic considerations have been taken into account in the development of the consultation plan. Please see below and appendix attached.

The consultation document will be supported by information and additional materials on websites, in presentations and other communications materials, outlining the proposed options. It will also provide information about how to respond to the consultation and how feedback will be examined and outcomes communicated. It will include a questionnaire which can be returned to a Freepost address. The consultation questionnaire will be available interactively online.

To reach as wide an audience as possible, people will have the option to request the information in other languages and in formats including audio, in hard copy and on websites, supported by extensive and regularly updated Questions and Answers and presentations. Hard copies will be put on display at numerous sites across the organisations involved and at appropriate meetings, supported by posters. For internal audiences, articles will appear in staff newsletters, briefings etc.

At meetings and presentations during the consultation period, all questions and verbal feedback will be recorded so they can be fed into the consultation analysis. Key stakeholder organisations’ formal responses will be requested in writing, either by way of their meeting minutes or separate letter/email.

A formal log of all consultation activities will be kept. The Stroke Patient And Public Advisory Group will be used to sense check our plans and highlight any opportunities for further engagement.

Appendix 1 - Coventry and Warwickshire Postcode Areas: Demographics by General Health & Deprivation

Note 1: General Health is a self-assessment of a person's general state of health. In the 2011 Census people were asked whether their health was very good, good, fair, bad or very bad, and is not based on a person's health over a specific period of time.

Note 2; Deprivation: Taken from the 2011 Census, these dimensions of deprivation used to classify households are indicators based on four selected characteristics. A household is deprived in a dimension if they meet one or more of the following conditions:

 Employment Where any member of a household, who is not a full-time student, is either unemployed or long-term sick.  Education No person in the household has at least level 2 education, and no person aged 16-18 is a full time student.  Health & disability Any person in the household that has general health that is 'bad' or 'very bad', or has a long-term health problem.  Housing The household's accommodation is either overcrowded, with an occupancy rating -1 or less, or is in a shared dwelling, or has no central heating. A household is deemed as being deprived in none, or one to four of these dimensions in any combination.
