22nd September - 26th September 2014
My fourth week marked a month of being a placement student at the Eastern Cheshire CCG!
At the beginning of the week, I became familiar with a new database system, SharePoint, which allows GPs to share patient medical information and care plans with social workers, nurses and occupational therapists relating to the top two per cent of their high-risk patients, however it must be noted that no information is shared unless patients have consented.
Throughout the week, I have been producing a business case for the new mobile phone application which will be used by professionals in the health and social care sector. I also created images of what I envisioned the app to look like and produced a project plan with timeframes and milestones to be achieved.
The quality analysts are developing a new dashboard to measure the performance of the Caring Together programme. I will be involved in this project and will be responsible for producing the qualitative commentary to support the quantitative data which the analysts will collect.
The CCG’s Governing Body meet in public every other month to discuss projects which are being finalised. On Wednesday, I attended the Governing Body meeting to gain an insight into how members of the CCG listen to the public’s views and understand their opinions regarding future healthcare services before a decision is made.
A month has gone very quickly at the CCG! I am continuing to learn about the NHS, developing a variety of skills each day and meeting a range of new people.
