Clipstone Health Centre
Long term
condition
strategy
The Proposal (Mission Statement)
Clipstone Health Centre:
• Will operate a long term condition strategy that provides joined up,
patient centred care in dedicated appointments that address all the
patients’ issues and long term conditions.
• Will include housebound and residential care patients
• Will identify and manage high-risk patients and will work in
partnership with other agencies. It will fit seamlessly into the CCG
proposed provision of a virtual ward for the very high risk patients
• Will aim to provide the best care to our patients, using evidence
based guidelines, whilst streamlining workloads.
• Will be dependent on the development of the role of the HCA and
the practice nurses, and will result in nurse led long term condition
management
The current problem
The following case study is fictitious. There is
no resemblance intended to any living patient.
No slur is intended on any of the care or the
care givers at Clipstone Health Centre in the
following presentation. It is a gross
exaggeration of the current situation and
(hopefully) will make you smile!!
Meet Mr
Gawdelpme
In July Mr Gawdelpme
was sent a letter
asking him to come for
a CHD check – he
didn’t really
understand the letter,
so he ignored it. He

In November the prescription
clerk noticed he was on
hypertension medication and
hadn’t had his UEs or BP
checked, so a message was put
on his prescription, asking him
to make an appt.

Mr Gawdelpme is 72 and has
CKD, CHD, Hypertension and
asthma (or was it COPD?!)
By the time he missed his
spirometry in March he was missing
10 QOF points and had missed
opportunities to have his
medications discussed, his chest
sorting out and his depression
addressed. He had had 5 letters, 2
messages on prescription and 4
appointments
The Long Term Condition
Management Strategy
Benefits for patients:
• Person centred care, incorporating mental and physical
processes
• Promotion of independence, maximum function, comfort
and quality of life
• Increased opportunities for involving patients in their
care, and for education
• Support for carers and families
• Reduction in medication problems
• Reduction in visits to surgery
The Long Term Condition
Management Strategy
Benefits for the practice:
• Potential reduction in emergency admissions
• Potential reduction in referrals
• Potential reduction of patients on SDL
• Polypharmacy managed effectively
• Reduction in overlapping workload
• QOF
• Happy patients!!
The changes
• Hypertension, AF, HF and PAD included in the annual
review recall
• First appt with HCA for a 20min health check. This health
check will be standardised across all the LTCs. Purpose
made template
• HCA tells the patient how long an appt to make with GP
or PN according to the patients’ conditions (perhaps
used ready made slips of paper to take to reception)
Exceptions
• Patients will be excepted if they make it clear on the
third, phone contact that they don’t wish to attend.
• Exceptions for ‘informed dissent’ will be applied to
patients notes in January, February and March each
year, giving the patient every opportunity to attend or be
advised to attend if comes for something else
Looking a bit further ahead
• Complex, high risk patients will be identified by appropriate methods
including new software and will be case managed with a named
contact (if not already under LM or AdlM)
• Expansion of the role of specialist services (eg diabetes
specialists/COPD specialists) and on-site education about specific
diseases
• These patients will be reviewed very regularly
• Closer collaboration with these 2 when necessary
• In time, could a GP be available to call on if necessary? (Perhaps if
long term condition reviews were only done on certain days of the
week?)
• A register of patients who don’t attend/who are excepted will be
compiled, and in time, other methods to get through to them devised
