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.

There was social prescriber employed by the primary care network who spent one day per week at Tramways Medical Centre. They could describe examples of the benefits of social prescribing and the impact that it had on patients. They were appropriately supported by the on-call GP and had clear escalation routes with difficult or complex cases.

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 national targets for the uptake of childhood immunisations and in most cases achieved the 95% target set by the World Health Organisation for routine childhood vaccinations. The service performed better than the England average in relation to several cancer screening programmes, including screening for breast and bowel cancer. The practice was slightly below average for the number of women aged 25 to 49 years who had a cervical screening test within the last 3.5 years but had achieved the cervical screening target for women aged 50 to 64 years.
