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. Staff supported national priorities and initiatives to improve population health, including stopping smoking and tackling obesity. The practice nurse worked with patients who had been taking weight loss medicines to encourage healthy eating and exercise and minimise the chance of weight being gained when the medicine stopped. A health and wellbeing coach also worked with the service.

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 was slightly below the 90% minimum uptake target for the uptake of the majority of childhood immunisations. The latest published data showed that 76.9% of 25 to 49-year-olds and 70.1% of 50 to 64-year-olds had been adequately screened for cervical cancer, against a target of 80%. The latest unverified data showed over 80% of those eligible in both age ranges had been screened. The practice manager explained they encouraged the uptake of childhood vaccinations and cervical screening by publishing information on their social media pages, including videos on their waiting room screen and having information in the waiting area. They had also recently given patients information about the human papillomavirus (HPV) self-sampling kits that were becoming available.

The service had a programme for the carrying out of clinical audits, and these were repeated regularly.
