SUCCESS Services
Swindon Urgent Care Centre & Expedited Surgery Scheme (SUCCESS) was originally put in place in
2014.

It was initially funded from the Prime Ministers Challenge Fund wave 2, and commissioned by the CCG
(on behalf of all practices) from SEQOL.

When set up it provided 3 main services;
- Urgent Care Clinic (UCC), at 1 then 2 locations
- Children's & Young Persons Clinic (CYPC), at 1 location
- Home Visiting Service (HVS), mobile service

Patients registered with all local GP Practices were able to access the service.
The services were for urgent/on-the-day demand.
Capacity was allocated on a first come first serviced basis.
Black Pear was used in the UCC to facilitate booking and transfer of a precis of clinical record.
Practices were required to triage appropriate patients into the UCC

Medvivo took over the care-taking of the service from 1st April 2017.

The funding for the service is from a budget delegated to the CCG to provide
‘extended access primary care services’.

The national requirements mandate the budget to be used to provide primary care;
- At weekends
- Until 8pm on weekdays
- In central hubs
- To provide 45 mins extended access per 1,000 population
- Promotion of services to patients and equal access for the local population

SUCCESS services future configuration
High level future service aims;
i.            To provide short-term primary care services for acute problems
ii.           To provide a primary care hub with access to routine primary care services
iii.          To provide services at SHC for patients who walk in

Service configuration;
- To enable access to all SUCCESS services from;
          •    NHS 111
          •    Direct by patients
          •    Practice signposting (booking into telephone triage slot)
-      To include service-led clinical triage
-      To continue with minimum of 2 hubs at Moredon & SHC
-      To continue with current opening hours as a minimum (to 8pm weekdays & 4pm weekends)
-      To utilise the Black Pear full clinical viewer
-      To utilise ‘telephone/technology first’ with clinical triage, prior to face to face appointments where possible
-      To increase scope of clinic appointments, e.g. to enable referrals, investigations and fit notes to be issued, with results followed-up within agreed protocols
       with practices
-      To include a patient walk-in service in SHC where patients can be seen within 4 hours or booked into an appointment
-      To change the name to enable better promotion of services (Primary Care Access Hub?)
-      To provide services for all registered patients of practices in Swindon and Shrivenham and those unregistered temporarily in the area

SUCCESS services future configuration
It is acknowledged that the proposed configuration moves away from providing urgent/on-the-day demand only.
This change is proposed to ensure that the extended access model is providing increased access for patients as
well as additional capacity for local practices. Also to maintain walk-in service in the centre of town.

The scope of services provided will include;
- Acute care
- Minor illness
- Blood tests/phlebotomy
- Ear syringing
- Wound care
- Dressings
- Smears
- ABPM
- Planned primary care appointments for unregistered patients

It is not prosed that the service provides all Enhanced Service currently commissioned from other practices, as
the service will not have registered patients, but it will provide those that are relevant to un-registered and
homeless patients.
It is proposed at Carfax Health Enterprise continue to provide the Swindon TB service and this is not duplicated.

Procurement
There is an need to procure the SUCCESS services as the contract with Medvivo is on a care-taking
basis until end March 2019 only.

There is also a need to procure the Swindon GP Out of Hours Service (OOH). This service was
transferred from GWH to Medvivo on a care-taking basis from 1st February 2018 for 12 months.
Opportunities to include the GP OOH service in the STP-wide Integrated Urgent Care (IUC) contract
have been explored but have not been possible.
The GP OOH service provides urgent clinical care services outside normal GP surgery hours. This
service is available by contacting NHS 111 who will triage the call and determine if it should be
assigned to the OOH service. The OOH team will action an appropriate response which may include
an appointment at one of the two Out of Hours clinics in Swindon, a home visit by a clinician or self-
care advice.

It is therefore proposed that a procurement process for both SUCCESS/Primary Care Access Hub
and GP OOH service is put in place as soon as possible.

Considerations
- Further engagement with all practices will be undertaken at Commissioning Forum
  on 21st February 2017.
- Wider stakeholder briefings will need to take place.
- Project plan to have comprehensive Communications Plan.
- Project team will be put in place to ensure delivery.
- Clinical Leadership Group to oversee development of service specification and
  procurement process.
- Plans to take into account IUC mobilisation from May 2018 and link to wider urgent
  care and Urgent Treatment Centre models.
