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 focused on identifying risks to people’s health. For example, a member of staff told us they wanted to improve the identification of diabetes in their patient population to improve people’s management of their condition. As a result, the service supported this member of staff in undertaking additional training in this area. Additionally, a clinical pharmacist had a special interest in asthma and reviewed people with the condition. They told us they used audits and monitoring mechanisms that were completed by pharmacy staff working at the service.

Staff identified people in the last 12 months of their lives. The service conducted home visits for people on their palliative care register. Leaders communicated with local hospices and community nursing services as needed, to ensure that care was given to address identified risks.

Staff supported national priorities and initiatives to improve population health, including smoking cessation and tackling obesity. For example, the service participated in education evenings organised by their primary care network (PCN) for topics such as prostate cancer and obesity. These events were open for all people registered at the service to attend.

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.

Data from 2024 to 2025 showed the service performed in line with expected national targets for the uptake of childhood immunisations.

The service achieved between 90% and 95% uptake for 4 out of 5 childhood immunisation indicators. They had achieved 86% uptake for the remaining indicator. This is compared to the national target of 90% across all indicators.

Data from NHS England in 2024 showed the service achieved a cervical screening uptake of 74% for people aged 25 to 49 and 80% for people aged 50 to 64. The national target for cervical screening was 80%.

The service encouraged the uptake of cervical screening and childhood immunisations and followed up any people who did not attend (DNA) appointments with telephone calls and electronic messages. The service had dedicated vaccination clinics on Saturdays.
