The project team is in place. DP is working full time on the project. JS puts 80% of her time into the Communications for the Project.

Mandy Skinner will lead on Training and Barbara Moscrop on data quality and IG, time commitment will be assessed going forwards.

AP and Louise Hodges provide support from the Informatics Programme Office. BG is the Subject Matter Expert from the SHA and also has an SHA facilitation role.

A Business Change resource is required, Stephan Coupland may move to this role but further clarification needed.

The project will feed up to the PCT Informatics Board

Major risks for the project should be fed to LL and then raised to the appropriate level.

SHA support for Communications is seen as very desirable and BG will follow up

Discussion was had around funding for the project and the issues regarding this, DP will produce a business case which will identify the requirement and source. It is not anticipated that funding will be available from CfH.

Training will be given in two areas - GP system and Concept Training - Mandy Skinner's background makes her ideal as a trainer.

Concept Training needed ASAP - key to train long term condition teams so that they can educate their patients on why the SCR is needed.

Medway's position as a fast Follower was discussed and the drivers for this.

LL reaffirmed Medway's commitment to early implementation to support out of hours care for long term conditions

It was felt recognition is needed for Medway as a Fast Follower of SCR, and is helping to inform future implementation. It was felt this should extend to financial recognition. This was originally proposed by CfH and this should be pursued.

Out of Hours has a high level of usage, a driver will be for them to be able to both create and view SCRs. Karen Morgan had shown a lot of enthusiasm for the SCR.

Wave 2 of the project will look at uploads from Unscheduled Care.

Local funding may not be a risk for the project but it will need quantifying - need cost specifics for the project to be able to allocate a budget - purchases must go through the Programme Office.

Discussion held around the Consent Model, this has been changed since early adopters but has not been formally approved yet.

It was suggested to only pilot 1 practice and not 3, the Board felt this may lead to loss of momentum and that we should continue to aim for three.

In terms of financial support to GP Practices, LL stated they are already paid for IM&T Des, SCR is a follow on from this work so funding is not required.

Comms must state that SCR is focused on people with long term chronic conditions that come into contact with unscheduled care.

Q&A looked at - lots of information given in understandable terms.

Focus should be put onto what's being done rather than on eliminating fear - be positive.

Project Timeline diagram tabled.

Discussion was had around the timeline diagram.

Risks in this timeline are the release of information including the consent model from CfH and communications toolkit

Discussion was had around the key stakeholder event in February, it was agreed to go ahead and plan for this, aimed at patient groups and external stakeholders

It was suggested for Manpreet Pujara to be contacted to speak at the event - Local GP and SCR enthusiast.

Contact Malvinder to involve Peter Green.

Wave 1 lessons learnt needs to be collated - Amanda Grindell has been informed and would like to be involved.

Amanda Grindell to attend next meeting.

A lead from unscheduled care would be very useful at the event, Karen Morgan was suggested, JS to follow up

Nearly complete - covers objectives, risks, internal and external community.

Awaiting the official CfH template.

Comms plan to be circulated when complete.

Neighbouring PCTS - look at comms between PCTs and projects.

Neighbouring practices - inform practices around those being piloted in case patients ask questions - initial practices chosen due to system being used.

A&E communications - Ellen Rayabove is aware of the project through the Urgent Care Board - no more information is thought to be needed until roll-out.
