Latest progress of the North East Hampshire and Farnham Vanguard
Thursday, July 9, 2015
Overview
The momentum and pace continues to pick up for the programme. Nationally and locally
anticipation has grown for project outcomes and Vanguard continues to become the focus
with national bodies and the media.
The project management office (PMO) is being approached (almost daily) with requests for
speakers for national and local events such as conferences and community group
forums. We want to ensure that all organisations are given the opportunity to participate in
the events. Please let the PMO know if you would like to present at any future events we are
invited to. We will give you full support to ensure the presentation is consistent with all
Vanguard communications and that you are fully briefed on the subject matter.
We would also like to know if you have any requests to present about Vanguard so that we
can give you support in delivering the right messages to your target audience, as well as
ensure the most appropriate people attend.
The PMO would like to welcome Fran White and Rosie Fowler to the team. Fran will be
supporting Vanguard as project management officer and Rosie will be helping out with the
administration. Sally Banister will be joining the office as programme manager on Monday
(July 13).
Integrated health and social care teams
Five integrated health and social care teams will be up and running in Farnham, Fleet,
Farnborough, Aldershot and Yateley by the end of this month.
These integrated care teams (ICTs) are made up of community nurses, occupational
therapists, physiotherapists, social workers, a psychiatric nurse, a lead psychiatrist, a
pharmacist, a geriatrician, GPs, the voluntary sector, and specialists in palliative care and
domiciliary care, supported by a dedicated ICT Coordinator.
Gethin Hughes, workstream lead, said: “Things are moving fast and we’re making real
progress – the teams will soon be meeting regularly, discussing patients and working from a
single, coordinated care plan. Through ICTs we can effectively manage the most vulnerable
and complex patients in the local community and provide more joined-up care. Increasingly,
these clinicians and other care professionals will work as a single team to better serve local
patients.
“It’s all about supporting and empowering people to maintain independence and control,
manage their multiple health and care conditions locally and receive care close to their own
homes wherever possible. We’re already seeing some improvements in patient experience.”
Each team will have a local central base, known as a hub, where they will meet and work
closely together. Confirmed bases are Fleet Hospital, Farnham Hospital, Aldershot Centre
for Health and Oaklands Surgery in Yateley. Options for a base in Farnborough are being
investigated.
The five ICTs will be jointly meeting on 6 August to compare early experiences and share
successes and learning so far. A launch event for a wider audience, including all GPs,
PPGs, providers and the voluntary sector, is planned for September.
The lead GPs and project implementation leads (PIL) are:

Latest updates from workstreams
Preventing ill health, enabling self care and supporting wellbeing: This programme
focuses on stopping illnesses (both physical and mental health) escalating to a point where
professional intervention is needed.
The prevention workstream has done substantial work on scoping out the projects the
system should focus on to make a real difference in prevention and self care. A compelling
business case will now be written to set out what benefits can be delivered.
New model of commissioning: A discussion paper has been drafted – Integrated
commissioning to support joined-up care, better health, better value.
The paper outlines:

The discussion paper will go to partners later this month. An informal briefing will be given to
the CCG's Governing Body and to cabinet members. Plans to involve patients and the public
are being developed before presenting a preferred option for consultation in the autumn.
Workforce: This active workstream will be pulling together a recruitment campaign to attract
more unqualified staff to the workforce. The integrated care team coordinator job advert has
been advertised, with interviews scheduled for 23 July.
Communications: Generic material is now available online
at www.northeasthampshireandfarnhamccg.nhs.uk/vanguard. Material available includes a
slide pack for presentations, key messages, latest position statement, social media
messages and a generic board paper for partners. More material is being updated daily, so
please check it out. This material is designed for all partners to use and can be easily
adapted for key audiences. If you need any help adapting the materials or would like to

Health and Care Innovative Expo 2015
North East Hampshire and Farnham Vanguard has been invited to the Health and Care
Innovative Expo 2015 (Expo 15) to showcase our programme.
The theme of Expo 15, the only conference hosted by NHS England, is the Five Year
Forward View.
Around 10,000 delegates from both health and social care are expected to attend the twoday event on 2-3 September in Manchester. Speakers include: Simon Stevens (Chief
Executive, NHS England); Professor Sir Malcolm Grant CBE (Chair, NHS England); Tim
Kelsey (National Director for Patients and Information, NHS England); and Mark Britnell
(Chairman, KPMG’s Global Practice).
This is an excellent opportunity for both Vanguards and the national new care models team
to come together for the first time as a community to share our work to date and plans for the
future with the wider health and care community and collectively benefit from their support.
We have some complimentary entry tickets to this event, as well as exhibition space. If you
would like to get involved, or attend, please let us know by the next steering group meeting
on Thursday, July 16.
