SOUTH WEST CARDIFF NETWORK CLUSTER ACTION PLAN 2014-17
This plan has been developed by the following 11practices which operate in the South West Cluster Area, through facilitated discussion with the Community Director and Locality Manager:-
• Lansdowne Surgery
• Woodlands Surgery
• Kings Road Surgery
• St David’s Court Surgery
• Greenmount Surgery
• Canna Surgery
• Westways Surgery
• Ely Bridge Surgery
• Caerau Lane Surgery
• Taff Riverside Surgery
• Llandaff fields The original 3 year plan was established by the cluster in 2014 and this update, reflects the current cluster priorities, based on progress since March 2015 and GMS contract requirements for 2015/16. Although the strategic aims referenced within the document are reflective of guidance provided with the contract, the format primarily represents the strategic aims as identified by the cluster practices. Outline of Cluster Population Profile The latest area population estimates vary between 52,000 and 59,600, which is approximately 16% of Cardiff's total population. The neighbourhood has a higher proportion of persons aged 0-15 and 30-44 than the Cardiff average. Conversely it has a lower proportion of persons aged 16 - 29 and post retirement. According to the Census 2011 information 83.95% of residents were of white ethnic city. This is slightly lower than the Cardiff average of 84.7%. The area has higher than average levels for Cardiff of unemployment claimant rates whilst more than 50% of children aged 0-15 live in the most deprived decile of education domain in Wales according to the Welsh index of multiple deprivation. Similarly 44.6% of 0-15-year-olds live in the worst decile or tenth of communities in terms of income deprivation, more than four times the expected share.

The Plan The plan has been informed by the practice development plans produced by practices; public health information on key health needs within the area; information provided by NWIS and Cardiff and Vale UHB in respect of referral and activity levels; a knowledge of current service provision and gaps within the area and an understanding of key UHB priorities for the next three years. The plan details cluster objectives for years 1-3 (2014/2017) that have been agreed by consensus across practices, providing where relevant background to current position, planned objectives and outcomes and actions required to deliver improvements. The cluster views this plan is a dynamic and evolving document and therefore, the plan itself will be reviewed and updated as required. The RAG rating score indicates progress against planned action (Red-work yet to start, Amber- Some progress made, Green-action has been completed). A number of key principles underpin the plan: Management of variation/reducing harm/sharing good practice: in acknowledgement of the fact that healthcare must be delivered on the basis of safety, effectiveness and efficiency, the practices have considered and analysed variation in performance and where appropriate have considered steps by which to map standardise practice based on clinical guidelines. Maximising use of Local Cluster Resources: practices have taken into account the capacity, capability and expertise that exists within primary care, community services and voluntary/third sector services to deliver more care closer to home and reduce unnecessary demands within the acute care services. Promoting integration/better use of health, social care and third sector services to meet local needs: practices have considered current arrangements/links with Cardiff Council and the voluntary sector and have also considered action plans that have been developed by the local neighbourhood partnership group. Considering and Embedding New Approaches to Delivering Primary Care: this includes increased use of technology, new roles and service models considering an embedding new approaches to delivering primary care: this includes increased use of technology new roles Maximising opportunities for patient participation: this includes consideration of models of good practice that exist with within/locality/cluster and nationally and within the rest of the UK. Maximising opportunities for more efficient and effective use of resources: this includes consideration of current resources, opportunities to utilise and current and new services more efficiently and effectively Additional contributors to the plan

Strategic Aim 1: Identified Health Care Need within Population Serve by the Cluster: In Cardiff, 9.5% of its total population live in the 10% most health deprived Lower Super Output Areas (LSOA’s) in Wales (i.e. those ranked 1-190). This proportion varies greatly across the neighbourhood areas. Cardiff South West (23.2%) has the highest proportion of its residents living in these most deprived areas. Age standardised all-cause mortality rates for the period 2004-2008 for all persons, as well as those aged under 75, is 418 per 100,000 population in Cardiff South East, compared with a Cardiff average of 345 per 100,000 population. In 2012 the Welsh Government produced information on the combined lifestyle behaviour of adults (i.e. smoking, alcohol consumption, fruit and vegetable consumption, and physical activity). The mean number of healthy behaviours adhered to by adults in Cardiff was 1.9. Just 5% followed all four of the healthy behaviours, while 23% followed three, 39% followed two, 26% followed one, and 7% followed none. These were almost identical to the figures for Wales as a whole where the mean number of healthy behaviours was only 2.0. Data from the 2011-2012 Welsh Health Survey show that :
• 26% of adults in Cardiff reported binge drinking on at least one day in the past week, compared to 27% for the whole of Wales;
• just over a fifth (21%) of adults in Cardiff reported being a current smoker;
• only a quarter (25%) of Cardiff’s adults indicated that they did at least 30 minutes of at least moderate intensity physical activity on five or more days a week compared with an all-Wales figure of 29%
• 34% of adults in Cardiff had eaten five or more portions of fruit or vegetables on the day prior to the survey date compared to 33% for the whole of Wales.
• The latest ONS data indicates that the rate of teenage pregnancies in Cardiff is 8.6 per 1,000 for under 16s (Wales is 6.1 per 1,000), and 39.2 for under 18s (Wales 34.2)
In producing this plan, all of the cluster practices have reviewed their population needs, taking into account public health demographic data; disease registers; data provided in terms of emergency admissions/elective care referrals; review of risk patient cohorts etc.. The plan seeks to address the primary areas of health need common to the majority of practices within the cluster, acknowledging that for some practices, more specific work is required internally to meet the needs of some patient groups.

As part of their Practice Development Plans, all practices within the cluster have reviewed issues such as number of GP appointments provided to practice population , hours of services, inappropriate use of GP OOhrs services by patients, DNA rates, use of technology such as My Health on Line/Texts messaging etc. This plan identifies areas of commonality across the Cluster Practices, accepting that some practices will have identified specific internal developments that they will take forward as part of PDPs.

Strategic Aim 3: Improve Management of Planned Care (including use of Care Pathways) to ensure that patients needs are met through prudent care pathways , facilitating rapid, accurate diagnosis and management and minimizing waste and harm
The Cluster Practices have, over the past 2 years engaged in a number of the elective care pathway developed within C&V UHB in an attempt to either reduce inappropriate referrals to acute hospital specialists/improve of the quality of referrals. All practices have given a commitment to continue to utilise pathways that were adopted previously, but there are clearly opportunities to extend the use of elective care pathways through further primary care developments

Strategic Aim 4: To provide high quality, consistent care for patients presenting with Urgent Care Needs/At high Risk of Admission and support the continuous development of services to improve patients experience, coordination of care and the effectiveness of risk management
All cluster practices engaged with a number of emergency care pathways aimed at reducing unnecessary referrals to Secondary Care/attendances at the Emergency Unit. SAs with elective care pathways, practices have committed to engage in the pathways adopted last year, however, further work can be undertaken within Primary care/community to appropriately meet the needs of individuals within the community setting. This section cross references a number of actions from section 1.
