New Models of Care in Community Neurology (Neurological Alliance / Thames Valley Strategic Clinical Network)

Summary

Thames Valley Strategic Clinical Network has published an extensive “Transforming Community Neurology: What Commissioners Need to Know” briefing, on improving community services for people with long-term neurological conditions. This report comprises three parts:

1. Part A: Transformation Guide.
2. Part B: Reference Reports.
3. Part C: Examples.

Local clinical commissioning groups are supplied with information on:

• Identifying the needs of people (and their carers) living with long-term neurological conditions.
• Neurology datasets and benchmarking.
• Integrated community neurology care pathways.
• Integration of mental health care into care pathways.
• Technologies which might facilitate community care models (new models of care) for long-term neurological conditions.

“The report has been produced as part of a collaborative project between the Thames Valley Strategic Clinical Network (SCN), Sue Ryder, Southampton and Royal Holloway London Universities, Windsor Ascot and Maidenhead Clinical Commissioning Group, Neural Pathways (UK), and the Neurological Alliance. The project supports the aims set out in NHS England’s Five Year Forward View to explore the potential of new models of care to deliver locally-provided, integrated care, organised around the patient”.
