The National Health Service globally is currently undergoing significant scrutiny in terms of cost effectiveness, and services in the secondary care sector are being rationalised and, where possible, relocated into a primary care setting. The new commissioning bodies are keen to further develop and continue this trend. Dental services will be commissioned nationally by the NHS Commissioning Board although the implementation will be maintained at a more local level.

Domestic Violence And Abuse

Purpose In the UK, the Identification and Referral to Improve Safety (IRIS) initiative has been developed for use within primary care to support women survivors of domestic violence and abuse (DVA). However, while evaluated nationally, less is known regarding impact of implementation at a local level. The purpose of this paper is to explore the effectiveness of IRIS within one locality in the UK. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative study using interviews/focus groups with primary care teams and women who had experienced DVA in one primary care setting in the UK. Interviews with 18 participants from five professional categories including: general practitioners, practice nurses, practice managers, assistant practice managers and practice receptionists. Focus group discussion/interview with seven women who had accessed IRIS. Data were collected between November 2016 and March 2017. Findings Five main themes were identified for professionals: Team role approach to training, Professional confidence, Clear pathway for referral and support, Focussed support, Somewhere to meet that is a “safe haven”. For women the following themes were identified: Longevity of DVA; Lifeline; Face to face talking to someone; Support and understood where I was coming from; A place of safety. Practical implications IRIS played a significant role in helping primary care professionals to respond effectively. For women IRIS was more proactive and holistic than traditional approaches. Originality/value This study was designed to assess the impact that a local level implementation of the national IRIS initiative had on both providers and users of the service simultaneously. The study identifies that a “whole team approach” in the primary care setting is critical to the effectiveness of DVA initiatives.

However attractive the idea of telehealth may appear to them, clinicians in regional hospitals will be preoccupied with clinical matters and are unlikely to have either the time or the expertise necessary to address the infrastructure and organizational aspects of establishing a telehealth service. Our experience of telepaediatrics in Queensland has shown that the support of the central service and coordinator has been essential in overcoming initial difficulties and has freed us as clinicians to concentrate on appropriate clinical referrals and consultation via telehealth. The central service is also able to assist in data collection, and in the analysis and interpretation of telehealth activity, for example in measuring cost-effectiveness. We have found that consolidating most consultations into planned clinics creates efficiency. The central coordinator can teach and support those new to telehealth in the regional and primary care setting, thus relieving the local clinician of this responsibility. As telehealth services expand in a regional centre, having a dedicated local telehealth coordinator may become appropriate. A central telehealth support service, which is clinically focused and responsive to clinicians' needs, is an essential foundation for successful telehealth.
