Croydon Healthy Living Pharmacies Quality Criteria - Service Requirements and Quality Criteria

Requirements & Quality Criteria

The Healthy Living Pharmacy (HLP) framework is a way of bringing together the many services that can enhance public health and reduce inequalities, within the community pharmacy setting.

Becoming a Healthy Living Pharmacy is about adopting a philosophy and a new working culture within your team where the public’s health and well-being is at the centre of what you do. In a Healthy Living Pharmacy, the whole team works together and recognises that every interaction with a customer is a potential opportunity for a health intervention.

The aim of this document is to set out the steps needed to achieve HLP status and to be awarded the quality mark that indicates they are a Healthy Living Pharmacy. In setting out on the journey to become a HLP, pharmacies are reminded of the key aim of the programme: that a customer in a Healthy Living Pharmacy can expect a professional service at all times from a knowledgeable pharmacy team who put healthy living at the heart of their business approach. To that end, potential applicants to the programme are reminded that HLP is a quality framework for service delivery.

Becoming a Healthy Living Pharmacy requires more than just having services commissioned. It requires demonstration of consistent, high quality service delivery, premises fit for purpose, trained and skilled staff and engagement with other healthcare professionals and the public. The pharmacy team will pro-actively provide good quality advice on healthy lifestyles.

Further details on the overall approach of the HLP programme are set out in the Prospectus for the programme and are not repeated here.

Further copies of the Prospectus can be obtained from [email protected], Healthy Living Pharmacy Project Manager, Public Health Croydon.

Croydon Healthy Living Pharmacies Quality Criteria - Achieving Healthy Living Pharmacy Status

Achieving HLP Status

Achieving HLP Status

To ensure that Healthy Living Pharmacies can deliver a range of services consistently to a high standard, a set of quality criteria and service requirements are shown in this document to support the award of the HLP Quality Mark.

This document will help pharmacy teams decide whether it’s time to apply for the Healthy Living Pharmacy Quality Mark and take you, step by step, through what you need to do to achieve the award.

In the first instance, we are looking to commission 18 Community Pharmacies to become HLPs. This equates to 3 in each of the Primary Care Networks in the borough.

The Networks include:

• East Croydon

• Thornton Heath

• Selsdon and New Addington

• Purley

• Woodside and Shirley

• Mayday

HLP Application Process

Each pharmacy wishing to become a Healthy Living Pharmacy may submit an application as soon as the pharmacy team consider that all the quality criteria and service requirements of a HLP can be met. To do this email: [email protected], Healthy Living Pharmacy Project Manager, Public Health Croydon.

We recommend that you consider colleagues in the LPC to review applications.

The application process will run until Monday 13 April at 12:00.

Self-Assessment

This self-assessment is designed to help you and the body awarding the Healthy Living Pharmacy quality mark to understand whether you have met the Healthy Living Pharmacy service requirements and quality criteria.

It is in two parts:

a) Service requirements

b) Quality Criteria

Going through the self-assessment process will help you develop your action plan and engage with your team around developing the ethos of Healthy Living Pharmacy. Activities undertaken to become a Healthy Living Pharmacy should also benefit other aspects of your practice and business.

Croydon Healthy Living Pharmacies Quality Criteria - How to Assess Yourself

How to Assess Yourself

How to assess yourself

This assessment is for an individual pharmacy. Each pharmacy in a group/chain will complete its own assessment.

Read the service requirements and quality criteria and, together with members of your team, decide which criteria you are achieving and those for which you are “Getting There”.

Identify where you have already met criteria and service requirements; think about how you will demonstrate this.

Decide how you will provide information in each of the categories. In some cases, e.g. the number of four week smoking quits claimed, the Working Group will be able to verify your submission directly. In other cases you may be asked to provide supporting information yourself – think about how you can do this and what information you will need to gather.

You may feel that you are on the way to meeting requirements for Healthy Living Pharmacy – “Getting There”- but need to do some more work in your team: think about what you need to do to ”Get There”. You are

encouraged to ensure that you meet the HLP standard before submitting your application to save time in the approval process.

Supporting information should be provided in a portfolio; this is not intended to be burdensome. The portfolio should include information about all the quality criteria and service requirements in one place so that the panel has the information it needs to review your application.

The panel’s intention is that wherever possible, data collected for another purpose will be used so that you do not have to duplicate effort, although it may be appropriate to include a note to reference other information, for example, having signed up for locally commissioned services.

You will need to demonstrate that you have met the criteria but you do not need to write detailed or complex reports. For example, for the HLC training requirements, copies of the RSPH awards received by your HLCs with a note about how they cover the opening hours of the pharmacy would be sufficient. Other examples could include dates and notes of meetings where training is discussed, training certificates, written records of signposting and interventions, policy

Croydon Healthy Living Pharmacies Quality Criteria - How to Assess Yourself

documents, or similar. Photographs with brief explanations may be useful, for example, to show the health promotion zone in the pharmacy and health promotion materials used by staff with customers.

You will need to provide supporting information for your achievement of some criteria (guidance is given in each section as to the types of supporting information that could be supplied).

Some criteria can be self-reported via a web-based reporting tool.

Assessment

Your application will be assessed by the local Healthy Living Pharmacy Panel. Its membership consists of:

• Sharon Boakye Healthy Living Pharmacy Project Manager, Public Health Croydon.

• Ellen Schwartz, Consultant in Public Health, Croydon Public Health

• Barbara Jesson, Community Pharmacy Advisor / Medicines Optimisation Lead, Croydon CCG

• Chris Hartfield, Project Manager, South West London, Academic and Social Care System

• Matt Phelan, Public Health Principal, Croydon Public Health

The panel has also invited Andrew McCoig, Chief Executive, Croydon LPC as an advisor throughout the Healthy Living Pharmacy process.

The pharmacy will be visited by panel members in order to verify some of the information you provide.

An independent assessment will also be conducted before HLP status is awarded.

Review

The Healthy Living Pharmacy status of each pharmacy will be reviewed at least every two years. If a pharmacy team fails to uphold the quality criteria and service requirements of Healthy Living Pharmacy, the team will have their Healthy Living Pharmacy status removed in order to maintain confidence in those teams that are delivering excellent care through Healthy Living Pharmacy.

Evaluation

An extensive evaluation of the programme will be conducted to assess viability for further role out across the Borough in the coming years.

Consideration will be given to the roll of mystery shoppers and we may wish to conduct qualitative research through interviews and photographs, both at the beginning and throughout the Programme.

The consultation, at a pharmacy, follows agreed protocols and supply of medicine, if deemed necessary, from a formulary. The service aims to free up GP time and reduce demand on Urgent Care Centres

2 The Medicines Optimisation Service is a focus on supporting patients to get the best use from their prescribed medicines e.g. New Medicines Service, Medicine Use Reviews, and Domiciliary Medicine Reviews.

Service Recommendation 7: Standards, Ethos and Environment


The pharmacy will actively promote free health, healthy living and lifestyle services as commissioned by the NHS or local authority.

Pharmacies are expected to ensure the content and style of advertising material for products and services are consistent with Healthy Living Pharmacy.

The Pharmacy must not stock, supply, sell or otherwise trade in nicotine delivery devices or products that are not licensed by the MHRA as part of a stop smoking programme. This applies to all products commonly known as e-cigarettes or shisha pipes which are at present unlicensed for smoking cessation. Licensed products will be available from May 2016. We will allow a discretionary period of 3 months for any stock to be used up that has already been purchased from the point of awarding HLP status.

There is no barrier to a Healthy Living Pharmacy providing private services, for example weight management. However, Healthy Living Pharmacies are expected to ensure that all members of the public who wish to use such private services are aware of free local services commissioned by Local Authorities, CCGs or other commissioners.

All pharmacy staff, including any locum or temporary staff, will be aware of all the services that the pharmacy is contracted to provide as well as other local healthy living services. All such services will be actively promoted.

All staff will be aware of the nature of the service and who is able to provide it. If services are not available at any time pharmacies will signpost the customer to another local provider or invite the customer to return to the pharmacy on another occasion depending on customer preference.

3 This waste initiative scheme compensates community pharmacies for not dispensing a valid prescription, where that prescription is for medicines that are not required e.g. have been stopped or the patient did not order.

Croydon Healthy Living Pharmacies Quality Criteria - Quality Criteria

Quality Criteria

This self-assessment is designed to help you and the body awarding Healthy Living Pharmacy (HLP) status understands whether you have met the HLP quality criteria for the environment you have created.

This, together with the service requirements will help the panel decide whether your pharmacy can be a Healthy Living Pharmacy. The evidence you put together will help towards you receiving your Healthy Living Pharmacy ‘quality mark’.

These quality criteria include the environment, staff attitudes and training, information provision and engagement with others through joined up working. These are not listed in any priority order; all are equally important.

The General Pharmaceutical Council sets standards for the safe and effective practice of pharmacy from pharmacy premises. These are the core standards that all retail pharmacies must meet and would be a minimum requirement for all. These HLP quality criteria support a pharmacy in meeting their professional requirements when delivering healthy living services.

Appendix 1 outlines the HLP National Framework. It is envisaged for the initial stages of the scheme pharmacies will be accredited at one level with no distinctions between the levels of provision. The HLP quality criteria may, in time, incorporate additional criteria where it is relevant for HLP levels 2 and 3.

Healthy Living Pharmacy: Quality Criteria Self Assessment Questionnaire

Introduction

This self-assessment is designed to help you and the body awarding Healthy Living Pharmacy (HLP) status understand whether you have met the HLP quality criteria for the environment you have created. This, together with other service specific criteria will help commissioners decide whether your pharmacy can be a Healthy Living Pharmacy. The evidence you put together will help towards you receiving your Healthy Living Pharmacy ‘quality mark’. These quality criteria include the environment, staff attitudes and training, information provision and engagement with others through joined up working. These are not listed in any priority order; all are equally important.

The General Pharmaceutical Council sets standards for the safe and effective practice of pharmacy from pharmacy premises. These are the core standards that all retail pharmacies must meet and would be a minimum requirement for all. These HLP quality criteria support a pharmacy in meeting their professional requirements when delivering healthy living services.

The HLP quality criteria may, in time, incorporate additional criteria where it is relevant for HLP levels 2 and 3.

How to assess yourself

• This assessment is for an individual pharmacy. It is not appropriate to complete a single form for a number of pharmacies within a group, as the status may be very different in each location.

• Read the quality criteria and, together with members of your team, decide which level you are achieving.

• You may be required to provide supporting information in each of the categories.

• Where you do not meet the requirements for HLP Level 1, think about what you need to do to achieve the criteria.

• The criteria for staff relate to those individuals working within the scope of the pharmacy business, they do not apply to staff working in larger stores who do not interface in the health aspects of the business.

Quality Criteria

The following describes the different levels of service delivery that form the self-assessment

Getting there: Some arrangements are in place and the pharmacy is moving towards achieving the criteria. If arrangements are not in place, there is a robust action plan to achieve the criteria.

Meets HLP: Arrangements are in place that meets all criteria and overall the service is working at that level of provision.

13


Workforce Development

The aim is to ensure that, irrespective of premises, the pharmacy staff demonstrates that they embrace the healthy living ethos.

1. Staff attitude, skills, values and training.

• All pharmacy staff understand the basic principles of health and wellbeing.

• All pharmacy staff have some understanding of the public health needs in their area.

• Members of staff receive training on issues of confidentiality and consent relevant to the member of the public receiving the service.

• The team are friendly, welcoming and sensitive to the need for privacy for different individuals seeking advice and health services.

• Members of the pharmacy team are able to communicate effectively and sensitively when recruiting members of the public to health and wellbeing services or providing them with advice.

• The team recognise the need for equality and diversity; providing a person-centred approach.

• The team understand that every interaction is an opportunity for a health intervention.

• There is a clear leader within the team who is responsible for achieving the vision and creating an ethos of proactive health and wellbeing within the pharmacy.

Croydon Healthy Living Pharmacies Quality Criteria - The Healthy Living Pharmacy Framework

The Healthy Living Pharmacy Framework

The Healthy Living Pharmacy Framework

A Healthy Living Pharmacy National Framework has been developed based on the Portsmouth and early adoption sites learning. We recognise that pharmacies are currently at different levels, therefore while the programme in Croydon aspires to use this framework in future to support improvement in HLP locally, it is, at this stage provided for reference only. For the initial stages of the scheme pharmacies will be accredited at one level with no distinctions between the levels of provision.

The framework is intended to act as a guide to inform and create appropriate pathways that improve access and outcomes for patients specific to their locality and needs.

The services listed are exemplars from across the country where community pharmacy has demonstrated the potential for positive outcomes. The bottom part of the framework details the enablers (quality criteria) that will support pharmacies to make this transition.

There are three levels (detailed in Table 1) at which Healthy Living Pharmacies could operate which build on the core Essential and Advanced services provided by community pharmacies as part of the national contractual framework. It is envisaged for the initial stages of the scheme pharmacies will be accredited at one level with no distinctions between the levels of provision.
