By 30th June 2023, we will:
- Improve access to urgent and unscheduled care (care which cannot be planned in advance) by:
- Making the most of providing care closer to home.
- Streamlining pathways for urgent/emergency assessment.
- Increasing timely discharge.
- Protect the capacity we already have for planned care (health services and treatments which are planned in advance).
- Obtain extra capacity to improve access for citizens who need planned and/or cancer care.
- Improve access to primary care services in Grampian by focusing on pharmacotherapy (pharmacists working with or in General Practice teams to support improvements in prescribing and medication management), dental services, delivery of vaccination programmes (childhood, at risk/age groups for influenza, COVID), General Practice, and Community Treatment and Care (CTAC) services.
- Make the most of capacity in social care by accessing alternatives to care, self- directed support, recruitment/retention, redesign and commissioning.
- Develop and test with our partners an approach to “wrap around” care focusing initially on individuals affected by substance use, with a plan to roll out this approach to others where this would make a difference.
- Work with partners to build on existing work which supports positive mental health and wellbeing with a specific focus on children to improve early access to support.
- Promote and support approaches to self-management to help people to live well, particularly those who are waiting for access to health and social care.
