South Central does face health

challenges

In many ways our health outcomes are good. However:

• 180,000 over 65s didn’t get a flu vaccination last year

• Over 400,000 people smoke. 26,000 hospital admissions due to

smoking

• About 1.8 million people are overweight

• Over half a million people have uncontrolled hypertension

• At least 50,000 more people with diabetes by 2035

• In Thames Valley nearly 30,000 people with diabetes have a

cholesterol level above 5mmol/l

• Over 30,000 people with undiagnosed atrial fibrillation

• Over 100 infant deaths per year

• 250 suicides per year

The three gaps

• Health and wellbeing gap, care gap and

finance gap all connected

• Reducing the health and wellbeing gap can

help to reduce the finance gap too.

Thames Valley Strategic Clinical

Network

• Commitment to excellence

www.england.nhs.uk

Thames Valley Strategic Clinical

Network Commissioning Guidance

• The Thames Valley SCN produces an annual

Commissioning Guidance bringing national

priorities and thought leadership to the local

context, benchmarking systems and providing

recommendations for action. So we distil not only

‘what to do’ but also ‘how to do it’ with best

practice examples and sources of help.

Thames Valley Strategic Clinical

Network

• Deliver nationally mandated activities. Working on further

strengthening our skills. Lucky to have talented staff and

clinical leads and we’ve been working on leveraging

synergies within the team and developing standardised ways

of working so each clinical area can expect the same

excellent quality of support from the Strategic Clinical

Network.

• Developing an inspiring vision, being clear about the

outcomes we want to achieve and ensuring that we have

robust partnerships and relationships with colleagues to

deliver
