EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Aim
In everything we do we believe in challenging ourselves, thinking differently and
making a difference. Our health and care system will be envied nationally and
internationally, as we deliver the care people want and need flexibly and sustainably.

We want to change the lives:
of our children and young people to ensure the best physical, mental and
emotional place moving into adulthood,
of younger working age adults who deserve 21st century ways to access
immediate healthcare
of older working age adults who need some help to be healthier, prevent
illness and stop illnesses having a severe impact on their lives
of older people to help them from becoming frail and reduce their loneliness
of our older frail population to enable them to be cared for at home for as long
as possible

We want to reshape the offer of care over the next 4 years for each population
segment described above; improving how and where care is delivered across

3

assessment, treatment, recovery and prevention. We will make these improvements
jointly with our patients, our residents and our providers.
We want to offer a much greater emphasis on assessment and prevention as we
strive for patients and residents to become healthier, more active and independent
people, with both their physical and mental health; however we also want to ensure
that when people need treatment it is offered as quickly as possible, in a setting that
makes sense to them and that we focus on recovery and getting people back to their
normal lives both mentally and physically as efficiently and effectively as we can.
We also want to ensure that the funding we receive for care is spent supporting
people to be well and not offering treatment once they are sick.

Introduction
Enfield and North Central London: Who are we?
Enfield CCG operates within the North Central London (NCL) Sustainability and
Transformation Plan (STP) which falls within the NHS England London region.
Enfield is one of five CCG’s in the NCL STP: Barnet, Camden, Haringey and
Islington make up the other four.
Enfield has 47 GP Practices and commissions healthcare for its 344,000 population.
Enfield Council is a single unitary authority and is responsible for the care needs of
the whole population.
Circa 82% of acute patients are treated within our local hospitals, Royal Free London
(RFL) and North Middlesex University Hospitals Trust (NMUH). The remaining 18%
are treated by the local private sector or outside of our area by various hospitals,
mainly across the London area including specialist providers. By virtue of our patient
flows our activity is mainly with NMUH and the surrounding London hospitals.

Strategy Overview: Focusing on Function

This strategy develops Enfield’s long term vision for integrated, place-based
community care. The aim over the next four years is to make a real difference to how
care is delivered to our population. We will focus on getting the function (the model
of care) right whilst continuing at pace to work with our providers to develop our plan
around the future form of the Integrated Care System (ICS)

We will develop our model of care through:

Closer integration with health and social care
A clearer understanding of our local population needs (place-based)
Better management of scarce clinical resources with a single layer of
management structures
More co-ordinated care, delivered through a multi-disciplinary approach
Integrating more care functions (e.g. mental health; falls; rehab), to enhance
the ability to meet patient needs in the community

Our Integrated Primary & Community Team (IPCT) will be responsible for the
delivery of a single set of outcomes including:

Proactive care to maintain good health
Diseases well managed
Care tailored to local need
Reduced health inequalities
Residents able to live independently at home but not isolated
Acute flow reduction
Value for money from each intervention

Strategy overview: Developing Form

As a way of delivering our model of care locally, the case for change for Primary
Care Networks (PCN) is compelling. This concept is a further development of an
established principle in Enfield: clusters of practices working together to improve the
health and care for their local populations. PCN’s enable practices to use their
resources more efficiently by providing economies of scale, which mean that they can
provide more services for their patients by pooling resources to invest in technology,
estates and workforce. PCN’s will be the driver of delivery in their local area,
managing resources to provide better outcomes for people.

In our commissioning role as system facilitators we will support the mobilisation of
PCN’s through the new Primary Care Contract reforms that will go live from 1st July
2019. We will work with practices to help them understand the needs of their local

6

population in new ways, using population segmentation techniques, to tailor the
configuration and skills mix of the Integrated Primary and Community Team for each
PCN population. We are committed to supporting each individual practice to
develop a practice resilience plan.

At the same time as working with local practices to develop their Primary Care
Networks, over the next few months the local system will begin detailed discussions
on the development of its Strategic Integrated Care System supporting its Tactical
Integrated Care Partnerships. Our focus will be on creating a sustainable
community infrastructure that enables

all partners across a designated area to share a single, capitated budget
which provides funding for all of the health and care needs of the whole
population.
all partners to operate within a joined up model of care (coordinated by
Primary Care Networks and delivered by GP practices, the Integrated
Community Team and our four local hubs)
all partners to work together to deliver a single, shared set of outcomes

Strategy overview: Key deliverables

An Integrated Primary and Community Team (IPCT) with a single management
structure delivered through a partnership arrangement in 2019/20 and through a
formal contract as one component of an ICS 2020/21.

A single integrated primary and community team will be developed which will ensure:

A focus on delivery of a single set of shared outcomes
A blended workforce model including social care
A focus on getting the care model right for older adults (65+) in 19/20 and for
the whole population in 20/21
High quality, accessible primary care with continuity with registered GP
Continuity of care for patients and their carers through case management
principles allocating resource around need of patients, though risk
stratification and tiering of patients
Use of Hubs, embedding a multi-disciplinary team approach and interface with
other services as part of a wider team
Proactive planned care and early escalation of risk when a patient becomes
unstable
Patient owned care plans and focus on the personalisation agenda with active
self-care supported through third sector organisations

Primary Care working at scale
In order to build resilience we will support the development of primary care networks.
This will include:

7

Working with the GP federation to develop a Primary Care Network
Development Plan
Committing to providing resources at a PCN level to give practices time,
capacity and capability to develop joint working
Support practices to ensure they have long term resilience plan in place
where necessary with a commitment to practices being part of formal PCN by
July 2019

A Road map to an Integrated Care System
A single Integrated Primary and Community Team delivered at a PCN level will form
part of a partial ICS by 2020/21.

We will develop a detailed road map, with our NCL colleagues, which will build
capacity and capability to ensure that we have an outcome based approach to
integrated care with a capitated, whole person budget from 2021/22

Enfield Together Strategy

Our Case for Change

North Central London describes a persuasive case for change in its Strategy and
Transformation Plan published in November 2016, it defines the changing health and
care needs of local people and the key issues facing health and care services in
North Central London (NCL) and offers key areas of focus all of which are owned by
us locally or supported at scale with NCL as appropriate.

Health promotion, particularly focusing on those who are healthy and well but
are at risk of developing long term health conditions.
Early detection and management of disease and illness, especially through
more systematic management and control of long term health conditions in
primary care.
The quality of primary care provision and the primary care workforce. It also
suggests a focus on reducing variation between practices. This may reduce
Emergency Department attendances, short stay admissions and first
outpatient attendances.
Better integration of care for those with long-term conditions, and ensuring
that suitable and sufficient social care is available. There also needs to be a
focus on people in residential and nursing homes.
Reducing the length of stay and avoidable admissions in acute hospitals, in
partnership with social care.
The delivery of emergency services in hospitals in NCL.
Understanding the differences between hospitals in the delivery of planned
care in greater detail.
The provision of mental health services, particularly the physical health of
those with a mental illness, early diagnosis and access to integrated services.
Recruiting and retaining the workforce, particularly where there are high
vacancy and turnover rates or shortages in staff, and a focus on new roles
and developing the existing workforce through new skills and ways of working,
as well as adapting roles to changing requirements.
The cancer pathway across primary and acute providers.
Buildings that are old, expensive to run and not fit for purpose, and developing
buildings that support patient and clinical needs.
Developing system-wide governance and leadership to support the
implementation of integrated information sharing and technology.
Addressing the projected financial deficit.

Programme Teams and Governance

The key to success of this strategy is co-production with our local providers and the
wider system, with all appropriate partners inputting into the detailed development

9

and delivery of the programme. All programmes of work are co-developed with
service users, clinicians, Council and the voluntary sector across Enfield.
The coordination of a large amount of change activity which is taking place across
the Enfield footprint requires clinical and officer leads in place to ensure
representation from all of the key programme teams at all relevant discussion
events; these programmes will also change as we begin to deliver the new model of
care. The current CCG programme teams in place are:

Outcomes: Population Health (wider determinants of health)

The health of a population is influenced by a wide range of factors and the
interactions between them. They include the local environment – such as the
conditions in which people live and work; social and economic factors – like
education, income and employment; lifestyles – including what people eat and drink,
whether they smoke, and how much physical activity they do; and access to health

11

care and other public and private services. Age, sex and genes make a difference to
health too, as well as social networks and the wider society in which people live.

Improving population health depends on collective action with different services,
sectors, and community groups – including the ‘assets’ found in local communities
(like people’s time and skills, social networks and physical spaces like schools).
Enfield Together will create time and space for the system to collectively understand
what factors are influencing the health and well-being of their population and put in
appropriate measures to support people to manage their own care or access the
care they need to stay living well at home.

Acute Care: Admission prevention
Plans to reduce admissions include:

Demand management schemes to reduce GP elective referrals
Decommissioning of low or no value acute services
Ambulatory Care to ‘diagnose to admit’ rather than ‘admit to diagnose’
Community consultant access from care packages/MDTs and shifting acute
appointments
Care packages focussed on self-care, management and prevention as per
local health need
Integrated care to focus on crisis prevention, early intervention and condition
management

12

Supporting discharge:
Best care packages and plans for management of long term conditions
Tighter integration across primary care/acute for long term conditions and
closer integration of community health services and social services
Targeting excess bed day numbers and reducing lengths of stay
Reducing the ratio of first to follow-up outpatient procedures

Children’s Services:
Child health services hub incorporating an ambulatory care service, urgent
care services and a paediatric assessment unit
Facilities for primary care and the care of children with complex needs/long
term
conditions in a community-based hub
Multi-disciplinary teams of health professionals (including community teams)
working across traditional care settings and boundaries

Urgent Treatment Centre

Urgent Care streaming (patients streamed to community option or self-care if
appropriate)
Four walk in centres across Enfield
GP extended hours

Planned Care: Long Term Conditions

The NHS Long term plan has identified key areas for us to focus on over the next 5-
10 years. We already know that in Enfield cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease
and stroke results in 50% of all deaths; respiratory disease is often linked with
cardiovascular disease so we have the full backing of the NHS long Term plan to
help tackle these disease groups and makes up the planned care programme of
work for year one 2019/20.

The correlation between elective and emergency care often becomes blurred when
we start to explore how we deliver the new models of care; the solution is the same.

13

Integrated community teams (led by primary care) that have access to specialist
support, co-ordinating care using a single detailed care plan, wrapped around the
patient to keep them well at home for as long as possible. If they do become acutely
unwell the same team gets them home as quickly as possible ensuring they have the
right levels of care to support them to recover to the best level they can.

It is important to note that cancer has now been designated a long term condition
with patients living with and surviving cancer for many years. This can often be a
traumatic and difficult journey which requires sensitivity, linking with Mental Health
IAPT services specifically for long term condition support is a key component of
supporting people with one or more long term condition.

Over the next three years we will see a right sizing of the acute hospitals and an
expansion of our community care, self-referral and triage by specialists will help the
system to identify and manage care within the community only utilising acute care
when someone is acutely unwell.

We will also develop more seamless end to end pathways for those planned care
treatments that are defined as single episodes of care, where once treatment is
completed you are discharged from care e.g. Hip replacement or cataract surgery.
We will explore the hand offs between various stages, identifying potential
inefficiencies and variation across inpatient and outpatient activity, creating pathways
that deliver the right care by the right clinician first time.

Workforce: Emerging competency framework for Integrated Community Team

As we move towards a single integrated health and social care team the need for a
comprehensive competency framework, that covers all health and social care
professional staff and which enables staff to fulfil their potential and provides a
structure for career progression, becomes more apparent.

It is envisaged that all staff should be trained to provide as many core skills to
patients to reduce duplication of effort As we move towards a single integrated health
and social care team the need for a comprehensive competency framework, that covers all
health and social care professional staff and which enables staff to fulfil their potential and
provides a structure for career progression, becomes more apparent.

14

It is envisaged that all staff should be trained to provide as many core skills to
patients to reduce duplication of effort where possible. Opportunities should be given
to staff to add to existing professional skills with the right clinical and regulatory
support. All staff should be encouraged to work to the top of their licence.

To do this we will need to:

Scope, review and benchmark against all existing competency frameworks;
working across partner organisations to pull together a whole community
resource
Reviewing existing complementary training modules and courses (Bucks
University - Innovations in Health Programme) (Free modules to build
CPPD)(Integrated learning – King’s University)
Co-design career pathways for staff and facilitate better staff retention
Complete a workforce skills and task map and develop a systemised
programme
Share knowledge and training plans with other agencies / CCGs
Establish a mandatory framework
Establish a baseline to provide an overview of the current staff training
situation for all staff and training required
Develop inter-agency career opportunities and career pathways for new
hybrid workers
Identify shared baseline training and specialist training where possible.
