Thank you Hugh. Can I add my own welcome to all of you
I’m PB …..
OPAC and PCC are inextricably linked – I’m sure any one of us in this room could share a personal story – some good experiences some where things could have been better -

3. There is good care but that is not reflected in headlines like these and we know that care is not always consistent - more we can do
Improving older people’s acute care is a national priority - in addition to the inspection of older people’s services

4. Evidence to inform priorities for improvement Improvement
Improving Care for Older People in Acute Care – Phase 1: Scoping & Development
Evidence to inform priorities for improvement
-Critical Assimilation and Analysis Process (CAAP) to review current literature
-HIS Inspection themes
-Discussions with key stakeholders to inform priorities for improvement
Stakeholder Engagement
-Meeting of ‘critical friends’ to share CAAP findings, inspections themes and to consult on the draft improvement approach/model
-Meeting of National Leads to understand the current landscape of national programmes and identify current change packages, measures and alignment opportunities
-Board Engagement Event to consult on the improvement approach/model and to understand the requirements of NHS boards in supporting improvements
Improvement
-Identified teams to participate in this work
-Established a sub-group for Delirium Management
-Webex call with teams to identify current challenges
-Planning for Learning Session 1
So…. Where have we got to so far
When we were commissioned – we had a huge, world hunger aim – to improve the care of older people in acute care by March 2014, so we knew that in order to make this manageable, we would have to segment this work and get a focus.
We first of all carried out a CAAP process to review the current literature and not surprisingly the themes from this work were consistent with the inspection themes
We met with key stakeholders….

Absolutely know that it is critical that we align and integrate different workstreams and ensure that where it’s possible to use existing data that we do so – never been so many opportunities to work together
In terms of will, ideas and execution - Great enthusiam, the will is there – time is right; we have ideas, have heard some from those we’ve spoken to so far and want to hear (your) ideas too; together if we put this into action we have great opp to really make a difference to older people’s care
