Our first year…
Our journey began with one
simple question “I can’t get an
appointment with my GP – how
can you help me?”

Slough’s landscape…
• Diverse community where English is often not the first language
• An area of high need with significant deprivation & health inequality
• A quarter of children living in poverty
• Growing & ageing population (up 17.1% since 2001)
• Berkshire receives some of the lowest levels of health funding per head in
the nation
Slough CCG has achieved improved health outcomes throughout the year
in challenging circumstances and within budget

voice of the patient community is
reflected in the design of the health
services we deliver and commission

Diabetes…
• Slough has above national average rates of diabetes – there are approx. 9,000
patients in Slough with the condition
• Type 2 diabetes is six times more prevalent in people of South Asian origin
• It is predicted that by 2030 up to 14% of the population will have diabetes
Slough Clinical Commissioning Group

How did we tackle the issue?
• Mentorship Programme established to help ‘upskill’ the 16 practices
across Slough
• Dedicated nurse-led clinics to help guide and train primary care
practitioners
• A key diabetes contact in each surgery for patients to get specialist advice
• Support from PPGs to provide support and encourage self-management
This resulted in:
• A target of a 5% uplift in the number of controlled diabetes population
being met and exceed by all but one practice
• A 7.2% increase in BP control
• A 3.56% increase in total cholesterol control
Slough CCG is now ranked No. 2 out of 211 in England in delivering the
eight care processes in diabetes – a significant achievement

The result?
A 0.6% increase in A&E attendance
from Slough patients v. a population
increase of 2% in a setting in which
use of A&E nationally is increasing
much faster

Quality Concerns at HWPH &
Prescribing Advisor Team initiatives
• Federated Quality Committee – three CCGs
• Concerns re: Maternity, Stroke & A&E parameters and performance, & others
• Raised through the quality mechanism to CQRG level
• CQC unannounced inspection of HWPH, reports, Assurance Process
• Currently seeing significantly improving performance in some areas
• Slough CCG provided additional GP appointments over the winter period –
made possible through savings via the expertise of our prescribing team, reinvested in GP appointments, whilst delivering improvement in the quality of
our prescribing

New services and improving the patient
experience…
• Maternity – by implementing an experience-led commissioning approach and
listening to patients we have allowed this to influence our commissioning
strategy and achieved improvements in the quality of care and patient
satisfaction
• Better Care Fund - strong partnership working with our partners e.g. Slough
Borough Council and HWB on the agreement of the Better Care Fund.
• Physiotherapy – by de-commissioning and re-commissioning a new provider we
have a much enhanced, faster and more comprehensive service in place
• Community Gynaecology Clinic – this has enabled faster access to treatment
and an improvement in patient choice and convenience.

Going forward…
• Continuation of PMCF, roll-out of eleven related projects
• Frimley Park acquisition of Heatherwood & Wexham Park: support the
agreement, monitoring of quality
• The frail older patient: home treatment teams, whole system change
• Asthma Care: high admission rates, national outlier, two child deaths, poor
levels of understanding of asthma management, and compliance with inhaler
treatments and personalised asthma management plans. Supernovas.
• Cancer care: the 2-week-wait referral system, End-of-Life care
• Stroke Care: unsatisfactory aspects – performance needs to improve
• Technology Enabled Care Services (TECS): Quality Working Group of NHSE
