Ambient Voice Scribes are part of the NHSE plan to increase productivity in General Practice by providing an AI assistant who listens in on consultations and then provides documentation of encounters and can even convert what it has heard into referral letters and reports.


Andy and Gandhi discuss this technology, moving from a brief introduction to practical tips for getting started with this technology in your practice with the right governance in place.


Listen to the end and you might even know your DCB0129s from your DCB0160s…

Making Sense of the GP Survery Results 202303 Aug 202300:50:28

Contact us and share your opinion

The current abundance of click bait headlines about the “best” and “worst” GP Practices can only mean one thing… Its annual GP Survey results time!

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-12318979/Worst-rated-GP-practices-England-ranked-Shock-NHS-analysis-reveals-just-one-10-patients-happy-surgeries-use-table-fares.html

13:20 Survey Analysis Tool walkthrough & national trends

GP Survey FAQs:

https://gp-patient.co.uk/FAQ 

  • Conducted independently by IPSOS
  • Purpose of the survey?
  • “We run the GP Patient Survey every year to track change over time and monitor the quality of services. The survey will help the NHS to improve GP practices and other local NHS services, so they better meet your needs.”

Where to find detailed information about methodology? Delving into the Technical Annexe:

Results: 

https://www.gp-patient.co.uk/ 

  • Infographic

https://gp-patient.co.uk/downloads/2023/GPPS_2023_National_Infographic_PUBLIC.pdf 

  • PCN Dashboard

https://gp-patient.co.uk/pcn-dashboard 

Using the analysis tool

  • Comparative results and results over time - example looking at national data
  • Comparing with neighbours or other practices

Positives

  • Low sample size means only indicative at practice level and difficult to compare one practice to another
  • Unfair to compare some practices with others... Comparing apples to oranges.
  • Practices in difficult areas, where it is harder to recruit for example and where here are generally lower levels of life satisfaction, shouldn't be compared to more affluent areas with less challenges and practices who report higher levels of general well being.... I've often though there should be a set of control questions about general life satisfaction to help control for these sorts of differences.
    • 👉🏻Social deprivation is complex
    • 👉🏻The patients calling in socially deprived areas are complex and will have be wanting “to see a GP” as if that’s the cure. People in alffluent areas will have probably done a load of research first
    • 👉🏻the shortage in clinical staff is much more markedly felt in socially deprived areas
    • 👉🏻I imagine the CQC are going to look at these survey results and select these practices for a CQC

NHS Workforce plan review08 Jul 202301:40:19

Contact us and share your opinion

Join Andy and Gandhi as they review the long-awaited NHS Workforce plan which sets out the NHS plans for the next 15 years. Is it any good? Find out with us....

https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content...

Published 29 June 2023
Commissioned and accepted by the government
Costed plan
Addresses how NHS will meet workforce challenges, 15 years, £2.4bn

The problem is significant
Staffing shortfalls have been a long-standing issue and NHS vacancies now stand at 112,000
The plan’s modelling estimates that vacancies would rise to 360,000 by 2037 if no action is taken

Priority areas:
Train - increase numbers of staff
Retain - 130,000
Reform - Work differently and modernise

Headline features
doubling medical school training places to 15,000 by 2031/32, with more places in areas with the greatest shortages 
increasing the number of GP training places by 50 per cent to 6,000 by 2031   
almost doubling the number of adult nurse training places by 2031, with 24,000 more nurse and midwife training places a year by 2031
providing 22 per cent of training for clinical staff through apprenticeship routes by 2031/32
introducing medical degree apprenticeships with pilots running in 2024/25 so that by 2031/32 2,000 medical students will train by this route
training more NHS staff domestically – in 15 years’ time, we would expect around 9-10.5 per cent of the workforce to be recruited from overseas compared to nearly a quarter now 
ensuring that more than 6,300 clinicians start advanced practice pathways each year by 2031/32
increasing training places for nursing associates (NAs) to 10,500 by 2031/32 – by 2036/37, there will be over 64,000 nursing associates working in the NHS, compared to 4,600 today.







Thoughts and Comments

There are no ‘specific costs’ associated with retention elements of the long-term workforce plan, NHS England’s chief executive has admitted. Ms Pritchard
https://www.pulsetoday.co.uk/news/pul...


The document sets out a plan to ‘ensure up to 130,000 fewer staff leave the NHS over the next 15 years’, however that segment of the 135-page report does not specifically mention GPs. Does mention consultants.
https://www.pulsetoday.co.uk/news/pul...


GP training places in England will increase by 50% to 6,000 by 2031 under the £2.4bn plan


RETENTION
Who will train the new trainees and in what time?
Reducing training time may be a false economy - requiring more support in early years.


Funding confirmed to 2028? Only first 5 years costed.

Exploring the complex relationship between Digital Exclusion & Health Inequalities17 Jun 202301:00:39

Contact us and share your opinion

Every report, guidance and initiative directed at UK General Practice is advocating for increased use of technology and a digital first approach to accessing NHS care.


These same documents also compel all levels of the system to address inequalities in health care access and outcomes.


Many worry that the drive adopt technology and move access online may exclude vulnerable and disadvantaged groups who are often less able to afford, access and know how to use technology.


Can this situation be reconciled?


Can digital technology actually be used to address health inequalities?


In the episode we discuss this challenge and draw in particular on recent digital inclusion and inequality reports:

Understanding the HealthWatch Cost of Living & Health Report10 Jun 202300:25:54

Contact us and share your opinion

A recent report from the patient advocacy organisation HealthWatch, recommended that GP Surgeries should prescribe medicines available over the counter at pharmacies and supermarkets to patients based on socioeconomic need.


For years the NHS has been telling practices to stop doing this due to the cost of providing a whole appointment compared to the low cost (often pennies) of widely available medicines such as paracetamol and antihistamines.


We pick apart this report and it’s other recommendations here…

Email From A practice manager from Nottingham… about two-tier workforce re practice and ARRS staff

Hi Andy and Gandhi

Thank you for your weekly podcast, it is very informative – I am not sure how you both manage to digest all the information and changes that we face on a weekly basis, and then hold an informative podcast on the issues…

I generally listen to the recording, and so don’t contribute to the live event – there was one issue that I wanted to mention after this weeks’ episode and that was when you discussed ‘up skilling the reception team to care navigators’ – my comment / concern is that if we are being asked to up skill staff it would be good if there was some funding to increase the pay to reflect this up skilling (and not just funded training)… The role of receptionist is key, but the underfunding of practices, which is particularly an issue in deprived areas means many receptionists are employed on the minimum wage or very near it.

The ARRS funding via the PCN DES is highlighting the disparity in T&C’s between the ARRS staff and practice staff T&C’s and this increasingly becoming an issue.

Best wishes

Suggestions
Use care coordinator funding / staff to support this work - co-ordinators / champions
We do need to think carefully about 2 tier T&C issue - can be dependent on employment arrangements
See pharmacists leave meds ops at ICBs to join PCNs, other staff leaving roles to join PCN

So good

So much sense in the simple plan to save general practice

Firstly, they increased funding to general practice, allowing more GPs to be hired and giving them the resources they needed to provide better care to their patients. They also invested in technology, such as telemedicine and electronic health records, to make it easier for GPs to communicate with each other and provide more coordinated care.


Next, they implemented measures to reduce the administrative burden on GPs, allowing them to spend more time with their patients. This included hiring more administrative staff to handle paperwork and streamlining processes to reduce bureaucracy.


They also implemented measures to support the mental health and wellbeing of GPs, recognising that they were under immense pressure and needed support. This included counselling services and peer support networks.
