and work 7 days
May reduce need for new
equipment

Managing high value capital equipment in the
NHS in England
• MR, CT, RT linacs

38. Suggested Way Forward
• Engagement of all stakeholders, providers & users
• Set expectations
• Patient choice very powerful
• Modelling with “pathfinder pilot sites” &
benchmarking
39. Service delivery model
In Patient
24/7 A&E
Stroke Strategy
Primary Care Increased Access
Extended Day +/- 7/7
Patient Choice
Diagnostics
Secondary Care delivery – Out Patient
Tertiary Care Specialist Care
41. Negotiation & influence
• Evidence for change
• Leadership, from above and within departments
• Enable rather than enforce culture shift
• Terms and conditions, contracts & employment law
42. Expected Benefits
• Improve primary & secondary care integration
• Share best practice
• Improve training out of hours
• Maximise capacity of current assets between
providers
• Reduce current inefficiencies & cost (in some
areas…..)
43. Rationale for a phased approach
Phase 1 - Urgent/Emergency & Inpatient Care
• Accident & Emergency
• Obstetrics & Gynaecology
• Trauma & Orthopaedics
• ITU & Anaesthesia
• Cardiology & Acute Medicine
• General Medicine
• Paediatrics
44. Build on Phase 1
Phase 2 - Elective & Outpatient Care
• Other specialties with large elective/outpatient workload
• Move from: extended week day work
weekend in patient
weekend out patient
? Ultimately no difference across 7 days
