Shelagh Meldrum asked the Board to note the change in her husband’s role within YDH. She advised the declarations of SM interest register will be updated to reflect this change. 1-40/ 3 MINUTES/ACTIONS OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING 2122 3.1 The minutes of the meetings held on 7 July 2021 were approved as a true and accurate record. 3.2 With regard to actions and matters arising, Paul von der Heyde advised action 1- 5/2122 (5.3) in relation to risk appetite has been started and will be actioned within the Joint Board to Board meetings but this action is not yet completed. 1-41/ 4 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REPORT 2122 4.1 Shelagh Meldrum highlighted the challenging operational position the Trust was currently experiencing with increased prevalence of Covid-19 in the South Somerset area; an increase in staff absence; the challenge with demand in the Emergency Department; and the issues with being able to discharge patients. 4.2 Shelagh Meldrum advised despite many restrictions being lifted nationally on the 19 July 2021, restrictions remain in place in the hospital. She said visiting had been further restricted which has been challenging to manage the paradox for the public of restrictions easing nationally but tighter within the hospital. 4.3 Shelagh Meldrum advised the development session for the Board later that day will focus on the operational pressures where the Board will discuss the challenges in more detail. She advised the teams are managing exceptionally well and support has been received by the system. 4.4 Shelagh Meldrum spoke of the iCARE week in July focused on Infection Prevention and Control which was set against the back drop of the national restrictions lifting. 1-42/ 5 BOARD ASSURANCE REPORTS 2122 Infection Prevention Control (IPC) Board Assurance Framework (BAF) 5.1 Shelagh Meldrum confirmed the IPC BAF is presented each quarter to the Board with changes each quarter shown in highlighted text. She advised changes within the quarter include intensive environment risk assessments which are focused on prevalence with decisions being made locally; an increased focus on ventilation; the new cleaning standards; social distancing measures; and a change in the use of FFP3 masks. 5.2 In relation to ventilation, Shelagh Meldrum spoke of the window replacement programme throughout the tower block and advised this was currently on hold due to operational pressures and beds unable to be closed to facilitate this programme of work. She confirmed window ventilation blocks are in place. 5.3 Shelagh Meldrum advised the new cleaning standards are new hospital standards and are not Covid-19 related. She advised that the team are working hard on implementing the new standards and the Trust aims to implement the new standards by October 2021 which is earlier than the national implementation date. Shelagh Meldrum confirmed star ratings will be displayed across the hospital. It was agreed Brendon Woods would be invited to a future SH Board meeting to provide an overview of the new standards. 5.4 An overview of the changes in the FFP3 mask guidance was provided to the Board by Shelagh Meldrum advising previously the use had been for high risk procedures only, but this has now changed to risk assessments being made at a local level dependant on the risks identified. She confirmed that the Trust are rolling this out across all areas of the hospital and testing staff. 5.5 Shelagh Meldrum confirmed that the Gold Command role remains in place 7 days a week undertaken by

What does your organisation do to support service user leadership? Service user involvement is about making sure that mental health support services provided by statutory and not- for-profit organisations are led and shaped by the people best placed to know what works: people who use our services. They are experts by experience. Increasingly, meaningful engagement of people who currently use—or have used—services is being recognised as integral to influencing and shaping future mental health services and in particular how, where and when services and support are delivered. When people are equipped and supported to help commission, deliver and check the services they and their peers use, those services improve and the people involved gain a voice. Dr Geraldine Strathdee, National Clinical Director for Mental Health, NHS England says “Service-user leadership is fundamental to designing, delivering and checking services that support people to fulfil their potential.

  • FFMF Improving Community Health and Care Services Engagement
    Report to the NHS Somerset Clinical Commissioning Group on 22 July 2021 Title: Fit for my Future: Improving Community Health and Care Enclosure Services community engagement report G Version Number / Status: 1.0 Executive Lead Maria Heard / Programme Director , Fit for my Future Clinical Lead: Dr Alex Murray Author: Sara Bonfanti / Head of Communications and Engagement Summary and Purpose of Paper The Fit for my Future (FFMF) ‘Improving Community Health and Care Services for people in Somerset’ community engagement took place in January to April 2020; however, the public release of the independent findings report produced by Participate was paused due to the COVID- 19 pandemic. With the community hospital engagement underway, it is felt that this would be a good opportunity to share the key findings from the report with stakeholders including members of the public. This would help to ensure that the information is publicly available and the outcomes and challenges faced are clear in everyone’s minds. The Fit for my Future Programme Board approved the Improving Community Health and Care Services Community Engagement Findings report and its public release at its board meeting on 17 June 2021. This paper provides a summary of the findings from the community engagement and the full Improving Community Health and Care Services Community Engagement Findings report. The findings of the report are being used to inform the work to develop integrated care services and the vision of community hospitals. Recommendations and next steps The Governing Body members are asked to: approve the Fit for my Future Improving Community Health and Care Services Community Engagement Findings report; and approve the recommendation to release the report and promote to members of the public; and note the next steps to develop integrated care services and a vision for community hospitals.
