The service supported people to manage their health and wellbeing to maximise their independence, choice and control. The service supported people to live healthier lives and where possible, reduce their future needs for care and support.

Staff focussed on identifying risks to people’s health, including those in the last 12 months of their lives and those with caring responsibilities. Where the service identified young carers there was a system in place to support them as needed. Staff supported national priorities and initiatives to improve population health, including stopping smoking and tackling obesity. We saw that the service worked with other agencies like the Integrated Care Board (ICB) and the Primary Care Network (PCN) to support people to improve poor health and live healthier lives wherever possible. For example, they were able to access social prescribers employed by the PCN to support people requiring additional support.

The service routinely monitored people’s care and treatment to continuously improve it. They ensured outcomes were positive, consistent and met the expectations of people themselves.

The service met NHS England’s national targets for the uptake of childhood immunisations. However, the service did not perform as well for cancer screening. They were slightly below the expected average, including screening for breast and bowel cancer. The targets for screening for bowel and breast cancer were as follows: - the national target data for breast cancer was 70.4% and the service’s result was 60.5%, and the target data for bowel cancer was a national target of 71.8% and the service was 65.5%. The service was able to explain the difficulties they faced in getting patients to attend screenings and the actions they took to improve attendance levels. For example, they had a recall system that was used to remind patients about their upcoming appointments. They also reminded patients when they attended practice for different reasons. The nurse we spoke with told us she spent time explaining to patients the importance of attending their screening. We also saw leaflets advertising the importance of attending screening.

The service also worked with other agencies like the PCN to improve their attendances for screening.
