Key Findings in Doncaster& Bassetlaw

2. #System Perfect What was the focus?
This year we wanted to:
Better understand peoples’ health and social care needs and behaviours
Raise awareness about local services available in the area
Understand why people choose to go to our A+E departments
Focus on people aged 20-35
In addition, teams were keen to both support admission avoidance and discharge processes on both sites.

3. #System Perfect What did we do?
Public Engagement and Communications
An online survey was posted across social media and was also completed face to face  
A series of videos of clinicians has been shared, informing people about the different options for advice and treatment
The Health bus visited local town centres in Doncaster, Thorne, Mexborough with plans to go to Worksop
The team undertook visits to local large employers with teams spending time at DMBC, NEXT distribution centres and Greencore
The team spoke with staff and patients on our Doncaster and Bassetlaw sites

7. #System Perfect Results
Awareness of Local Services:
99% are aware of GP practices
97% are aware of the Emergency Department (I’d suggest the discrepancy in this not being 100% is terminology – Emergency Department to Accident and Emergency and people simply leaving this blank by accident)
97% have heard of pharmacies and chemists
91% have heard of NHS 111
85% have heard of GP Out of Hours (people weren’t always sure how to access this service)
72% have heard of the Minor Injuries Unit ( some people thought this was at DRI)
62% have heard of the Doncaster Same Day Health Centre
56% have heard of NHS Choices (some people heard of it but unsure what it was)

8. #System Perfect Results
Reasons given for patients attending ED:
lack of GP capacity, difficulty in making an appointment or an individual not being registered with a GP
instantaneous service which is available 24/7
a visit to ED acts to reassure that there is nothing serious
a visit to the ED is dramatic, an event to post on Facebook, to attract likes, comments and attention

9. #System Perfect What Next?
To increase awareness of services available to support patients at home for all health and social care professionals: through the on-line winter information packs
To raise awareness of local support and services available to the public in times of urgent need: through the winter communications campaign
Ongoing link with local businesses and organisations regarding health promotion and educational opportunities
To explore ways to engage with minority groups including those for whom English is not their first language
Future system perfect to potentially focus on Mental Health and Patient Choice
To involve patients in the design of new models of care
