Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust: 12 February 2020 Pwyllgor Iechyd, Gofal Cymdeithasol a Chwaraeon Health, Social Care and Sport Committee HSCS(5)-06-20 Papur 1 / Paper 1 National Assembly for Wales Health, Social Care and Sport Committee General Scrutiny Session: Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust: 12 February 2020 Introduction 1. The Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust welcomes the opportunity to provide evidence to Committee as part of its general scrutiny sessions with NHS Trusts and health boards. 2. This briefing paper will provide members with an organisational profile, as well as an outline of the breadth of the work of the ambulance service and recent performance pressures by way of background. 3. In addition, Committee has specifically asked for detail on: The challenges and issues faced by the Welsh Ambulance Service How the organisation’s IMTP is making an active contribution to the delivery of A Healthier Wales Waiting times, call management procedures and categorisation of calls 4. This document will provide brief detail on the matters outlined above and colleagues look forward to elaborating on these issues at the forthcoming scrutiny session. Organisational Profile 5. In recent years, the ambulance service has changed significantly, moving from what was predominantly a transport service to one which now provides clinical care and clinically focused transport services to some three million people across Wales, an area of almost 8,000 square miles, spread across a diverse and challenging urban, coastal and rural landscape. 6. In 2018/19, we employed more than 3,000 people, operating from 113 buildings, with 715 vehicles in our fleet. 7. Our services span three main areas – unscheduled, emergency care; planned non- emergency clinical transport and telephone and online advice and triage. 8. Our unscheduled care services (emergency and urgent care) provide support to patients with illnesses that are immediately life-threatening through to minor injuries. We are increasingly providing services and pathways to keep patients out of hospital, treating them at home or on scene where it is clinically appropriate to do so. 9. Each year, our Non-Emergency Patient Transport Service (NEPTS) supports hundreds of thousands of patients with a clinical need for transport to get to their hospital and medical appointments and home again, including for life sustaining services like renal dialysis and cancer treatment. 10. NHS Direct Wales (NHSDW) provides telephone and online advice to patients who feel unwell, helping to signpost patients to, or arrange, the most appropriate care for them. 11. The 111 service, which we host on behalf of NHS Wales and which was introduced from 2016, is being rolled out across Wales and provides the basis for a more integrated model of future health and care provision. A Commissioned Service 12. Ambulance services in Wales are commissioned on a collaborative basis by the seven health boards through the Emergency Ambulance Services Committee (EASC) and the Chief Ambulance Services Commissioner (CASC). Both emergency and non- emergency ambulance services are commissioned in this way. 13. The Commissioning Quality & Delivery Frameworks for Emergency Medical Services and Non-Emergency Patient Transport Services (CQDFs) set out what is expected of us by our commissioners and focus on how we can make real improvements for our patients. Both are based on a five step model of service delivery, which breaks down the patient journey by need. Visual representations of the five step models are shown below: Figure 1: Five-Step EMS Ambulance Care Pathway Designed with permission using the CAREMORE® 5 steps.

Each year, we agree commissioning intentions with our commissioners and the delivery of these is central to our work. 3 Demand Profile 15. The data below highlights the level of activity in terms of Welsh Ambulance services in 2018/19. 534,970 999 calls were answered by our staff at our Clinical Contact Centres (CCCs). That is slightly down on the previous year’s figure of 540,891 These translated into 465,552 verified incidents (we often receive more than one call about the same incident) 246,788 of those emergency patients were conveyed to hospital Our Non-Emergency Patient Transport Service (NEPTS) made 787,931 patient journeys during the year, which was slightly up on the previous year’s figure of 787,666 243,840 calls were made to NHS Direct Wales (NHSDW) and 3,696,770 visits were made to the NHSDW website. Both these figures were down on the previous year 276,580 calls were made to 111 service, which brings together the services of NHS Direct Wales and the GP out-of-hours service in Swansea, Bridgend, Neath Port Talbot, Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion and Powys. This is an increase on the previous year and reflects the commensurate decrease in calls to NHSDW 16. However, during 2019/20 we have seen the pattern of demand for services continue to change, particularly in respect of Red demand, which has shown a significant increase. 17. This, together with a range of other factors, has led to a deterioration in response times, with a commensurate impact on patient safety. These issues, and the ambulance service’s response to them, are outlined in more detail later in this document. The Clinical Model 18. Committee has asked specifically for information on the clinical model used by the Welsh Ambulance Service and the way in which calls are categorised. 19. In October 2015, a revised clinical model was introduced, which focused on prioritising those patients whose condition was immediately life-threatening. Following a pilot period and independent review, the model was confirmed as permanent in early 2017. 20. At the heart of the model is a focus on quality and clinical outcome as key indicators, using time targets for those conditions where time has a significant impact on patient outcome. Calls where the patient is in imminent danger of death, for example as a result of cardiac or respiratory arrest, are categorised as RED calls and have an eight minute response target in 65% of cases across Wales. 21. The basis of the clinical model is detailed in the table below. 4 Figure 3: Clinical Response Model 22. The clinical response model is regularly reviewed for appropriateness and effectiveness. 23. In terms of the categorisation of calls, the Welsh Ambulance Services uses the internationally recognised and globally used Medical Priority Dispatch System (MPDS). 24. This is a unified system used to dispatch appropriate aid to medical emergencies including systematised caller questioning and pre-arrival instructions. 25. MPDS involves caller being asked a set of standard key questions. These questions allow the call handler to categorise the call by chief complaint which sets a priority relating to the severity of the patient's condition, i.e. red, amber or green. 26. In 2019, the Trust’s Medical Director reviewed and compared the placement of MPDS determinants by category with that of NHS England’s recently introduced Ambulance Response Programme (ARP). This work found minimal variation with England in terms of categorisation. 5 27. The Trust has Centre of Excellence’ status from the International Academy of Emergency Dispatch for all three of its 999 Clinical Contact Centres. 28. This award is recognition of the high standards of use of the Medical Priority Dispatch System (MPDS) by the Trust’s call handlers and all colleagues in the CCC who receive, process and dispatch help to our patients. 29. There are more than 3,000 emergency medical dispatch centres using MPDS worldwide, managing around 65 million incidents per year. Only 250 have achieved accreditation as a Centre of Excellence Performance over the last 12 months 30. It has been a challenging year across the health system in Wales and, regrettably, it has meant that we have not always been able to deliver the quality and timeliness of emergency response services that we would want and the public should expect. 31. For the first time since the introduction of the new clinical response model in October 2015, our Red response has fallen below the 65% target and our response to Amber patients is longer than it should be. 32. The reasons for this are complex and multi-faceted and require targeted and immediate action to address these issues in real time. 33. We also continue to work in close collaboration with our health board and other partners to tackle the system-wide issues facing NHS Wales by embracing opportunities to deliver large scale transformational change quickly. 34. It is crucial that we deliver immediate and sustainable improvements not only for our patients, but also for the people who work and volunteer for us. 35. In respect of demand, there has been both a trend of rising volume and acuity, as demonstrated in the tables below: 6 Figure 4: Total Verified Demand by Category 36. Figure 4 demonstrates that demand is growing in acuity (Red and Amber demand), and is fairly static in the lower acuity category (Green). This is in line with that is being reported by health boards in terms of the acuity of patients they are seeing via their emergency departments. 37. Figure 5 demonstrates the increase in Red demand profile, with Red demand increasing over the year from approximately five per cent of call volume, to some seven per cent of call volume. 7 Figure 5: Proportion of Total Verified Incidents by MPDS Priority – RED, AMBER1, AMBER2, GREEN2, GREEN3 38. Some of this increase is accounted for by an update to call handling practices in the summer of 2019 as part of the continual review of the clinical response model to ensure the appropriate categorisation of calls.

  • Nhs Wales Covid 19 Operating Framework - Quarter 2 (20/21) 1
    NHS WALES COVID 19 OPERATING FRAMEWORK - QUARTER 2 (20/21) 1. PURPOSE In line with the shorter planning cycles that we have agreed for 20/21, the purpose of this document is to provide the NHS with an Operating Framework for Q2 and a look ahead to the rest of the year. This framework will build on the themes and principles from Q1, based on a “proceed with caution” approach and will continue to focus on the four harms; 2. CONTEXT There have been a number of developments since the publication of the Operating Framework Guidance for Q 1. In Wales lockdown measures are being eased in a steady and cautious approach, in line with the Welsh Government’s recovery plan, focused on maintaining and controlling the Rt value. In parallel with this, the Test, Trace, Protect Programme has been launched across Wales to improve access to testing and contact tracing to help contain and isolate the virus. Health Boards, Local Authorities, NWIS, Public Health Wales and our military colleagues have been working hard to implement this at scale and pace and this will continue to develop and evolve in Q2. From an NHS perspective, although our understanding of the virus is improving there is still a high degree of uncertainty in the months ahead. This will continue to make planning challenging as we interpret modelling, and as evidence about the virus requires us to continually update guidance and policies in this area at pace. Since the first COVID-19 peak in April the NHS in Wales has been developing and implementing its plans for a dual track approach to delivery of services across all care settings.

  • Calling Time for Change
    CALLING TIME FOR CHANGE ALCOHOL HARM REDUCTION STRATEGY 2020 - 2024 The North Wales Area Planning Board Foreword This Alcohol Harm Reduction Strategy for North Wales has been produced on behalf of the North Wales Area Planning Board, working in collaboration with partners across the region. It is the first one that has been produced for North Wales and builds on the North Wales Substance Misuse Needs Assessment. It also aligns with the Welsh Government Substance Misuse Delivery Plan 2019-2022 which seeks to reduce the harms associated with substance misuse, including alcohol, to the individual and wider society. Alcohol is thoroughly integrated into all aspects of society and our culture, is widely available, and has become increasingly affordable. Where alcohol is drunk sensibly it is enjoyed by many. However, alcohol is a strong drug with serious health implications. Alcohol misuse has a marked effect on the physical and mental health wellbeing of the individual, as well as affecting their family and wider society. Alcohol misuse is strongly linked to crime and disorder, antisocial behaviour, assault and domestic violence. Alcohol misuse is a major cause of death and illness in Wales with around 1,500 (one in twenty of all deaths) deaths each year being attributable to alcohol. There is no single organisation well placed to address all the harmful impacts of alcohol. This strategy sets out our partnership commitment to reduce the harms of alcohol misuse over the next 5 years and will require a collaborative approach across the region whilst also addressing local issues. This is why the strategy has been developed in partnership and is endorsed by me, as Chair of the North Wales Area Planning Board, on behalf of strategic partners for substance misuse (alcohol).

  • What's the Matter with the NHS in Wales?
    What’s the matter with the NHS in Wales? – Some frequently asked questions 1) Are there really doctor shortages? Yes. For a few years now there has been a problem with a shortage of some types of doctors in the UK. The worst problems are in Paediatrics; Emergency Medicine (A&E); Surgery; Anaesthetics; Medicine; Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and Psychiatry. Not having enough doctors, particularly those in the middle-grade ranks (senior juniors, so to speak); is making it very difficult maintain safe medical rotas. This is making some services vulnerable because without enough doctors they become unsafe. No-one wants to run services which we know are unsafe, and where patients could come to harm as a result. The doctor shortage issue sometimes reaches a crisis point and forces urgent changes. Neath Port Talbot Hospital is a case in point. We couldn’t recruit enough doctors to keep a safe acute medicine service, and had to then urgently move the service to other hospitals. It’s not the first time doctor shortages have caused us problems. The Children’s Ward at Singleton Hospital had to merge with the one in Morriston Hospital in 2009 because of a shortage of paediatricians. In 2008 the Minor Injury Unit at Singleton Hospital kept closing at very short notice because we just didn’t have enough A&E doctors. In the end GPs stepped in, and we also had to reduce the hours it was open. So doctor shortages have been with us for a while … but the problem is getting worse. Even though we have a higher doctor head-count than in the past, we still don’t have enough to run modern-day NHS services.

    Delivering a Five-Year Service, Workforce and Financial Strategic Framework for NHS Wales Project summary and recommendations Executive summary June 2010 F0891011 © Crown Copyright 2010 CONTENTS Preface from Paul Williams, Director General, Health and Social Services, and Chief Executive, NHS Wales 2 Introduction – The Challenge 3 The Vision 5 The Principles 6 The Opportunity and the Approach 7 Realising the Vision 8 Annex 1 – The Portfolio of National Programmes 10 - 1 - Preface The Minister for Health and Social Services commissioned a major reform of the structures of NHS Wales in 2008/09, which has now been successfully completed. Alongside that, with her approval, I commissioned work on developing a Five-Year Service, Workforce and Financial Strategic Framework for NHS Wales. What I did not want was a fixed, inflexible plan for the next five years, based on the implausible idea that we could forecast and control future demand and resources across one of the most complex organisations in the UK. What I did want, and what we now have, is a framework for integration and transformation. We know what the task is – better health for all and services as good as any in the world. We have new structures that promote integrated thinking and working across NHS Wales and close collaboration with our partners. The framework will set out how we will achieve this. This document is not the framework – or rather it is a part of it, the evidence base. The overall framework is a set of documents, processes and behaviours that will drive action and govern our advance towards our goals.
