2 Surrey's Heart and Stroke Network is committed to enhancing patient care and services through integrating the quality standards set by the National Framework for Coronary Heart Disease and the National Stroke Strategy.National Framework for Coronary Heart Disease National Stroke Strategy The network's core values are to provide services that are: patient and carer centred equitable reducing inequalities in health responsive to changes in practice and the needs of the community co-ordinated and managed through partnership geographically consistent value for money http://www.surreyhealth.nhs.uk/services/HeartStrokeNetwork/Pages/home.aspx

3 Why a care home project? Up to 50% of people in nursing homes thought to have had a stroke A large client group for whom a “blind spot” has been created Not receiving the same level of support as people at home Hopefully the beginning of doing something about it!

4 Network Care Homes Project (Nursing Homes and Care Homes) Aim: to improve the level of care which stroke patients receive in care homes improve care home staff skills in caring for people affected by a stroke MDT in NHS how much information gets passed on ? Massive training and improvement programme in NHS

5 Project Deliverables A realistic, cost effective and sustainable plan which will facilitate basic level training for care home staff on caring for patients who have had a stroke TIA recognition and action Web pages which provide care home staff with easily accessible and relevant information Possible model of advice line provision - ? pilot option Identification of key links into care homes across Surrey into the Surrey Heart & Stroke Network to support ongoing interaction and ways of promoting primary prevention initiatives Specific recommendations of how the requirements of QM14 and the Long term review project in SW Surrey can by informed by this project

6 Initial thoughts… 1. Poor level of information sent to care homes when pt transferred from NHS. Propose to link with joint health / social care discharge care plan project 2. Access to care home residents to 6 week, 6 month and yearly reviews Propose to work with review project to ensure care home residents do not miss out on review (does it need to be provided in care setting?) 3. Lack of access to equipment For example a social care funded resident is not entitled to wheel chair services so even if plan to do so equipment may not be available

7 4. Access to information Currently awaiting replies from questionnaire sent to care homes asking if they would access web based information or a potential email /phone information service 5. Training Could care home staff access existing 3 level stroke education programmes? 5 homes currently trialling STARS training, questionnaire has options about whether level 2 training would be appropriate to care home staff and how this could be provided (cost ) http://www.strokecorecompetencies.org/node.as p?id=core http://www.strokecorecompetencies.org/node.as p?id=core

8 Survey (17 replies) Wide range of stroke pts as % of clients 57% happy with info received from NHS 40% happy with ongoing support and information Training ; 60% would like on site training / 53 % workshops Training priorities identified Interest in website (88%) and contact line (94%) high

9 What now? Target appropriate care homes Need to discuss with NHS / care homes where they see their responsibilities lying Look at needs of care home clients in bigger stroke picture – discharge care plans / 6 month review etc Discuss with care homes how best to make staff available for education /access to web etc Make recommendations
