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 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 had not met some national targets for the uptake of childhood immunisations, screening for breast, bowel and cervical cancer.

The national target for childhood immunisation uptake is 90%. The practice’s uptake of childhood immunisations for children aged 1 was 86%. For children aged 2 the practice had met the target for two out of three of the vaccines, with the third achieving 86%. For children aged 5 the practice achieved 66%.

Data highlighted that cervical screening uptake for women aged 24-49 was at 71% compared to the 80% target. Unverified practice data indicated performance had improved to 77% (women aged 24-49) and 92% (women aged 50-64).

The service was performing below England averages in relation to breast and bowel cancer screening programmes. For example, breast cancer screening coverage for 2024/25 was recorded as 68.6%,compared to a national average of 70.4%. Similarly, bowel cancer screening coverage for 2024/25 was recorded as 50.4% compared to a national average of 71.8%.

The practice explained that immunisation and cancer screening had historically been a problem due to the high deprivation level and cultural barriers. The practice evidenced that to address this they had put in place a robust call and re-call process, and continuously shared educational information via email and text. Clinicians were also educating patients in person on the health benefits and offered opportunistic immunisations and screening.
