Consulting on the preferred option BUT
Purpose of consultation People should be encouraged to express their views on all of the options that have been considered to date, or to make suggestions for alternative approaches Scottish Health Council Guidance
NHS Highland board will consider all views and be able to explain why any widely held views discounted
Ongoing work • Transport survey • Set up access and transport group • Equality and Impact Assessment (ongoing) • Clinical specification • Collaboration with Raigmore, Hospice, Scottish Ambulance, Council etc
The future 3 to 5 years before preferred model would be implemented
Some things that won’t change • Care homes will remain in existing locations • Dental unit remain in Portree, Dunvegan and Kyle • GP Practices, Dental and pharmacy will remain in same areas • Excellent culture of care provided by staff
Challenges • Modernise to reflect changing times • Address resources split across two centres • Increase capacity of care-at- home/community service • Reduce delays for out-of-hours medical cover for in-patients • Improve co-location/ joint working • Buildings cant be modernised
Long list of options Ranged from having NO hospitals in the area to having TWO NEW hospitals in the area; and various scenarios in between
Why have any hospitals?
Why not build 2 new hospitals ? • Affordability • Clinical pathways • Sustainability
Short list of three possible models of service
1. Do minimum 2. Community resource centre and hospital - Hub-in one village (Portree or Broadford) and scaled-down services in other – Spoke- (eg no in-patient beds) 3. Community resource centre, single campus in one village and significant rationalisation of all other health and care facilities
Scoring (out of 1,000) • Option 1 – 400 • Option 2 – 800 • Option 3 – 788
Steering group preferred model of service Option 2 3
Location of Hub and Spoke • Option 2 (a) - Hospital ‘Hub’ new build in Broadford, with ‘spoke’ in Portree Score = 766 • Option 2 (b) Hospital ‘Hub’ new build in Portree, with ‘spoke’ in Broadford Score = 702
Benefit criteria for location
What could change • Development of new community hospital with in-patient beds and resource centre in Broadford • Improved out-of-hours cover for in-patients • Develop care-at-home and care homes • Mackinnon Memorial Hospital to close • Portree Hospital redesigned once new hospital built • Plus other detail to be confirmed
