• Warwickshire Health and Wellbeing Commissioning
  Strategy and Diabetes Project Achievements and
  Next Steps
• Following information from public meeting and
  care group workshops which used the ISIP
  principles of transformation change to explore
  the required service changes, the strategy is
  now being finalised for presentation to PCT Board
  at the end of September. This will be on the PCT
  website in October
• A PCT with local authority and GP consortium
  input Commissioning Strategy and LDP workshop was
  held in September, facilitated by the ISIP
  consultant, to agree how the Strategy would
  inform next years LDP
• Within these discussions, how to move the
  Diabetes project to the next stage was discussed.
  This followed the draft specification being
  presented to South Warwickshire PBC in August and
  in September, and discussion of a Countywide
  approach to Diabetes Services with Consultant
  Leads and PBC leads using ABC for Diabetes
  model and work undertaken in South. These
  discussions were informed by the Diabetes
  Commissioning Document Portfolio (Bookcase of
  Diabetes) documents which had been developed.
• Workshop Outcomes
• Emerging process to undertake a more inclusive
  LDP process building on the successful care group
  workshops and wider engagement in developing the
  strategy
• To complete the internal base lining exercise
  linking contracts to service provision, to inform
  pathway design
• To develop a standard core specification for all
  major contracts with identified individuals to
  input and be responsible for refresh and ensure
  contract compliance. This will effect and build
  on the diabetes work
• An emerging process for the identification of
  critical service change / business cases to be
  agreed. The diabetes project will be part of this
  process.
