Minutes:

The Commissioning Programme Manager, NHS Bury CCG introduced John Calleary, Consultant Urologist at Northern Care Alliance (NCA) and together they presented a report regarding the reconfiguration of Secondary Care Urology Services. This followed a previous report to the Board where Members requested further information on the ‘end to end’ clinical pathway and opportunities for delivery of care in primary care and community-based services. This paper provided an update on the collaborative work being undertaken by the CCG with NCA and offered assurance to the Board that the concerns raised at the previous meeting were being addressed.

 

Members discussed and commended the paper, welcoming the opportunity for GPs to engage with secondary care pathways and the inclusion of patient voice in codesign of services.

 

The Strategic Commissioning Board:

1.   Received the update on the work undertaken to date.

2.   Noted that a further update on the work of the Development Group and pathway review/redesign will be provided in April 2022.

3.   Endorsed the NCA pan-locality delivery model for the secondary care aspect of the Urology pathway, into which the pre-secondary care locality pathway will align.
