About NHS Highland: NHS Highland is a forward thinking health and care provider whose aim is to provide the best care, by employing the best people and nurturing staff to be the best they can be. The Highland Health and Social Care Partnership is responsible for providing a wide range of acute care, emergency care, primary care and community based health and social care services. These services are provided to around 232,950 people across 25,656 sq km (during the summer months the number of people in the area increases significantly due to an influx of tourists). The Argyll and Bute Health and Social Care Partnership manages acute, primary, community health and mental health services across the region. Much of the acute and more specialist services are provided from neighbouring NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde. These services are purchased by the Operational Unit through formal contracts. About NHS Orkney: NHS Orkney offers the opportunity to work as part of a small and supportive clinical team in our modern, newly built, 49 bed healthcare facility. It is the smallest health board in Scotland providing quality care for a population of approximately 22,000 people. We have a Consultant led service, providing inpatient care for medical, surgical and a small number of paediatric patients. We also have an Assessment and Rehabilitation ward, a Maternity Unit and Macmillan House in addition to Day Surgery and theatres. Our Emergency Department sees a broad spectrum of both minor and major casualties and is also required to respond to life- threatening emergencies. It also acts as our assessment unit for all GP referrals. Presentations are extremely varied and provide excellent experience in holistic and realistic medicine. We have a keen interest in supporting medical education and simulated training Working as part of our team helps to further develop clinical skills and independent working in a supportive environment. About NHS Western Isles: responsible for providing healthcare to the population of the Western Isles, made up of approximately 26,500 people and employs around 1030 staff. There are three hospitals run by NHS Western Isles, the largest is Western Isles Hospital, a rural general hospital located in Stornoway. The Western Isles is a remarkable place – big skies, beautiful beaches, spectacular starry nights and, at times, exhilarating winter storms. Living here is both challenging and fulfilling. We were, after all, recently voted as being the happiest place to stay in the UK, one of the best places to bring up a family and the best island in Europe NHS Western Isles works alongside mainland Health Boards and other local organisations, including the local authority and third sector (voluntary) organisations, to provide a wide range of healthcare services to the local population. Where possible, services are provided locally, in the Western Isles, but for specific procedures and more specialties services, we work with mainland partners to provide services in other areas. About NHS Shetland : the most northerly Health Board in the country and a unique setting in which to develop your career. We are a small organisation with around 550 staff looking after the health needs of some 23,000 people. However, what we lack in size, we more than make up for by way of the tight-knit, highly professional ethos that characterises every aspect of our operations throughout the islands. The Gilbert Bain Hospital is a busy Rural General Hospital which serves the needs of the local community as well as providing care for medivacs from rigs and ships. There is a busy A&E, Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) Unit as well as surgical, medical and maternity wards. There is a two bedded High Dependency Unit. A variety of clinics are delivered by local and visiting staff. Teaching and training is very important and there are opportunities to learn or develop new skills in a supervised and supported fashion. Shetland is a wonderful place to live and work. Shetland offers great leisure facilities, unique wildlife and amazing scenery, whilst still only a short flight away from the UK mainland.

  • Orkney Winter Plan 2020/21
    Gillian Morrison (Interim Chief Officer). Orkney Health and Care. 01856873535 extension: 2611. [email protected] Agenda Item: 11. Integration Joint Board Date of Meeting: 10 February 2021. Subject: Orkney Winter Plan 2020/21. 1. Summary 1.1. This is a whole system plan which aims to address the predicted additional pressures of winter across 2020/21 alongside the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Delivery of this plan will require strong leadership and collaborative working across the health and social care system at the most senior level to provide a focus on the additional impacts, challenges and resources required to sustain safe, effective and person centred care. 2. Purpose 2.1. The purpose of this paper is to present the Integration Joint Board with the draft Orkney Winter Plan 2020/21 for consideration and approval. 3. Recommendations The Integration Joint Board is invited to: 3.1. Approve the Orkney Winter Plan 2020/21, attached as Appendix 1 to this report. 4. Background 4.1. NHS Orkney, in common with other health boards, is expected to prepare a Winter Plan, in partnership based on national guidance and from lessons learned the previous year. 4.2. The Winter Plan, attached as Appendix 1 to this report, aims to create a set of conditions which improve resilience by building capability to absorb, respond and recover from disruptive challenges. Winter disruptions can include increased demand and activity due to seasonal flu, respiratory and circulatory illness; increased numbers of falls and trips; and wards closed to admission due to higher levels of norovirus. 4.3. Given the ongoing emergency footing and the COVID-19 pandemic, planning for this winter where there is a high likelihood of concurrent events is critical in ensuring services are best placed to meet the demands which are likely to be placed on them.

Items for discussion Move to weekly A&E submissions Elaine thanked everyone for the work they have put into the submissions. So far there are no major data issues. She also checked progress towards submitting the new time point data items with each board; NHS Borders Date and Time of First Diagnostics – depends when done, needs to cross match with ED data. Date and Time of Treatment start – not sure, will be a clinician decision if they can get this. Wait to cubicle is possible. Date and Time of Triage– current issue where NHS Borders have got the time seen by first doctor but this can cause an error –as soon as nurse clicks in that field it brings up triage time which can be different. They then need to backdate the time which causes an error. In AAU around 100 patients are seen before triage, which causes 25 errors on the system a day (Triage to seen time comes up as a minus).
