NHS Health Scotland is a WHO Collaborating Centre for Health Promotion and Public Health Development. Summary In 2016 NHS Fife and NHS Forth Valley began to pilot a new GP Community Hub (GPCH) Fellowship model aimed at bridging the gap between primary and secondary care for frail elderly patients and those with complex needs. NHS Health Scotland commissioned a baseline evaluation to capture the early learning from implementation of the model. The following summarises the key findings from the evaluation. The evaluation was conducted between February and June 2017 when the model of delivery in the two pilot sites was still evolving. The findings may therefore not reflect the ways in which the model was subsequently developed and is currently being delivered in the two areas. -

The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges was commissioned by Scottish Government to ascertain the causes for the data issues in NHS Lothian. The review findings were published 26 June 2018. 2) Since 3 March 2015, the Scottish Government (SG) has released Official Statistics weekly A&E activity and waiting times information for the EDs in Scotland, derived from aggregate information supplied by NHS Boards on the number of attendances and 4, 8, and 12 hour waits. PHS (formally ISD) took over this data collection for statistics covering the week ending 7 June 2015. 3) From 20 May 2018, Raigmore hospital in NHS Highland trialled a new patient flow system. As a consequence the accuracy of some patients’ waits may have been affected between this date and 4 July, however the total number of attendances remains correct. -
