Bristol Health Serviecs Plan V.1 The Options for Acute Services in North Bristol & South Gloucestershire

Bristol Health Serviecs Plan V.1 Major Acute Services Serving Bristol, South Gloucestershire & North Somerset United Bristol Healthcare NHS Trust Frenchay Hospital Southmead Hospital Weston General Hospital

Bristol Health Serviecs Plan V.1 Option 1 Maintain both Frenchay and Southmead as acute hospitals

Bristol Health Serviecs Plan V.1 Option 2 Provide a new acute hospital, together with a community hospital on the Southmead site Provide a community hospital on the Frenchay site

Bristol Health Serviecs Plan V.1 Option 3 Provide a new acute hospital, together with a community hospital on the Frenchay site Provide a community hospital on the Southmead site

Bristol Health Serviecs Plan V.1 Why keep the two acute hospital model? Because we were asked to consider doing so throughout the engagement process Because it represents the ‘do minimum’ option But the view of the health community is that to do so would compromise healthcare for Bristol

Bristol Health Serviecs Plan V.1 Why change to one acute hospital? Because there is a wealth of evidence that if people really do need to be in hospital, the greater the integration of clinical specialities and the greater the concentration of expertise and equipment, the better is the outcome

Bristol Health Serviecs Plan V.1 Frenchay or Southmead? Check each option against questions: Quality of care Development of community services Recruitment of specialist staff Recruitment of general staff Travel times for patients and staff

Bristol Health Serviecs Plan V.1 Frenchay or Southmead? And… Impact on local communities Effect on environment/buildings How quickly up and running How flexible Good value for money
