#Fridayreflection Do you add your milk first or after your have poured your tea? Another busy week but continue to be amazed by my colleagues who are our frontline in the #NHS as well as those providing leadership. And many thought provoking conversations regarding education and training as well as a reset and reform of what we do every day. Had a great conversation around outpatients and how we measure what we do. So much has changed over the past few years: how we interact with patients, how we work with colleagues across primary and secondary care, how we follow up and share decision making of treatment options but we have not kept up with measuring all these changes. Do you remember watching Top of the Pops or listening to the announcement of the week's No 1 pop song when you were younger? The number 1 song was that which had sold the most singles that week. Now, it depends on downloads, sales of hard copies and streaming activity. This is how outpatients has changed with virtual, telephone, written and face to face appointments! Outpatient activity measures now need to become more holistic. Not just activity numbers or new to follow up ratios. How do we measure patient centric outpatient activity that delivers what patients wish for, in a way they want and where this works for them? And if we are changing how we deliver our outpatient activity, how are we changing our training offers so that we teach how we triage, decide on straight to test or a one stop clinic? How do we ensure that every single consultation does include shared decision making? We have lots of ideas but what do you think? #Reset #Reform #Outpatients #NHS #SharedDecisionMaking #TOTP #PatientExperience The Patients Association Royal College of Physicians Outpatient Recovery & Transformation Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) The Royal College of Surgeons of England

Physician #cooperatives may be new to the US healthcare system, but other countries have been utilizing them to benefit their physicians and patients for years. One benefit found in this study from the Netherlands was a significant reduction in ER utilization by patients. Starting in 2005, many #PCP groups in the Netherlands reorganized their structures to Cooperatives due to increasing dissatisfaction with their high workloads and poor #worklifebalance Before this time #physicians were charged with 24-hour care of their patients, but, similar to the US, patients could access the ER without a referral from their doctor. The overwhelmed and overworked PCPs were not able to address all of the patients' after-hours care; thus, many patients sought care in the ER. Sound familiar? Following the introduction of Cooperatives, the proportion of patients accessing the ER for care went down by 53%!!! The PCP physicians also reported significantly better quality of life and patient interactions. I'm not saying a national physician cooperative is the cure for #burnout, but the evidence shows that both patients and physicians are significantly happier when they can get the care they need, when they need it, from the person they have the closest relationship with. If you want to see the Cooperative movement grow here in the United States, there is no better way than to join the first National, non-specialty specific, inclusive Cooperative - ViTel Health Physician Services Cooperative.

We’re here to make everyone's life a little easier… Between NHS physiotherapist shortages and overworked clinicians, current waiting times for MSK treatment can be up to 20 weeks. However, this is no longer the case for patients and clinicians in Sandwell & West Birmingham NHS Trust (SWB). Through working with us, clinicians in SWB can now refer patients to the right treatment option straight away – whether that be face-to-face treatment or self-management via Phio Engage, our digitally-supported MSK self-management platform. As a result, clinicians in SWB have more time for appointments with complex patients, and patients who do not require face-to-face appointments now have faster access to self-management options, ensuring they still receive the care they need. Ultimately, with Phio Engage, patients and clinicians in SWB can deliver and receive better, faster, and more effective care. #EQLmskcare #msk #healthtech #digitalhealth #physiotherapy

A University of Cambridge study has suggested that continuity of care increases productivity in general practice by reducing demand for GP consultations. Results indicated that when patients see their regular GP, the time to their next visit is extended by around 18%. #menloparkprimarycare #primarycare #generalpractice
