Lack of clarity, inconsistency in roles and specification of community nursing services Community Nurses Said……. Current service models not managing efficiently the increasing complexity and volume of the workload Disproportionate amount of nurses’ time taken up with activities not directly related to care Under-developed skill mix Documentation, record keeping and referral processes do not take advantage of technology Poor data collection and feedback to managers and staff Ways of working not always consistent with the emerging evidence base Some services traditional and reactive to demand
NHS Scotland Quality Strategyis About Three Things: • Listening and Responding to the Views and Experiences of People for Improving Services. • Building on the Values of NHSS Staff and Contractors and Their Commitment to Providing the Best Care Reliably – for Everyone and All of the Time by Supporting Leadership, Creativity and Innovation. • Making Quality Count – Measurable Improvement in the Aspects of Care Which Children, Young People and Families see as Important.
Quality Strategy Aims • Safe- There will be no avoidable injury or harm to patients from healthcare they receive, and an appropriate clean and safe environment will be provided for the delivery of healthcare services at all times. • Person-centred- Mutually beneficial partnerships between patients, their families and those delivering healthcare services which respect individual needs and values and which demonstrate compassion, continuity, clear communication and shared decision making. • Effective - The most appropriate treatments, interventions, support and services will be provided at the right time to everyone who will benefit, and wasteful or harmful variation will be eradicated.
Modernising Nursing in the Community Programme Board • Phase 1: Modernising Nursing in the Community Programme Board in place from September 2009 – December 2011 AIM • To provide leadership and vision to support NHS Boards to develop and deliver: - High Quality - Sustainable and - Person centred community nursing services.

Children Young People and Families Sub Group Aim • To develop a framework for public health nursing 0-19 years (including preconception) which will assist NHS Boards in the provision of high quality, sustainable public health nursing in the community.

Redressing the balance between two approaches to promoting health and tackling health inequality Assets based Narrowing the health gap Deficits based
Thinking Through the FNP Programme • To identify and examine the factors that are contributing to the success of the FNP Programme • To discuss how these could be sustained, supported, developed and transferred across nursing and related services in future terms • Consider the future of FNP in terms of its place within the wider nursing and midwifery family, career pathways, workforce, planning etc
Top 4 Priorities • Supervision in MNiC • Sustaining and Maintaining FNP (within MNiC) • Education and Learning Development • Sharing the Knowledge and Learning from FNP
Why share FNP Learning ? • FNP approach has potential to interrupt cycle of deprivation for this client group and maximise their life chances. • Approach has potential to transform wider services. • Manifesto commitment.
What learning can be shared with universal services ? • Skills and knowledge • Workforce roles • Service Delivery • Systems • Materials • Model replication

NHS Health Scotland National Early Years Conference 1st March 2012
Child poverty • Scale, extent and nature of child poverty in Scotland • Impact of that poverty – why it matters • What needs to be done? • (Context: progress to date, challenges, opportunities in Scotland, GIRFEC) • The role of early years services
What do we mean by child poverty • Peter Townsend (Poverty in the UK, 1979) in poverty when “lack the resources to obtain the types of diet, participate in the activities and have the living conditions which are customary, or at least widely encouraged and approved, in the societies in which they belong” • not ‘just’ about income, but income central • relative to society you are in • not just survival, but social participation
Scale and nature of child poverty • 250 000 (25%) children living in poverty (2009/10) • some children at particular risk • families affected by disability • one parent families • families without paid work • affects families across Scotland, but concentration and nature varies • ECP child poverty map of Scotland www.endchildpoverty.org.uk
Impact of child poverty • poverty damages health – poverty kills • health compromised from birth – average birth weight 200g lower • 2 ½ times more likely to have chronic illness as toddlers • 3 times more likely to suffer mental disorders • poverty undermines learning • nine months behind by age three • gap widens as go through school • poverty undermines life chances • More likely to be unemployed as adult • More likely to be the parents facing poverty in the future • poverty damages childhoods • poverty in Scotland may be “relative” but its impact on children is absolute • Child poverty costs us all – est. £1.5billion a year
What needs to be done?Context: Nothing inevitable about this poverty • Need to eradicate it, not just reduce it’s impact Not starting from scratch….. • Real progress: since 1997 100 000 fewer children in poverty • Policy worked: at UK and Scotland level • Political consensus: UK Child Poverty Act 2010 • Scottish government: Solidarity target, poverty framework and new Child Poverty strategy
What needs to be done?Context cont. …..but huge challenges • progress had stalled even before recession/cuts • Over £18billion welfare cuts, hitting poorest hardest • IFS predict massive rise in child poverty • Scotland: little evidence that spending decisions being proofed for impact on child poverty despite national anti-poverty frameworks.
Opportunities in Scotland? • Getting it right for every child…. • Access to advice and information • build on Healthier Wealthier Children • Preventative spend and early intervention • prioritise spending and delivery that prevent child poverty • Proposed legislation on children’s rights and services • Commitment to supporting parents • Existing commitments • Extend early years nursery provision • Free school meals and school clothing grant recommendations • Use of new welfare powers to protect poorest families? • social fund and council tax benefit replacements • revisit criteria for passported benefits • Build on commitments to Scottish Living Wage
Role of early years providers? • Be aware, and promote awareness, of context of children’s lives and the barriers families face as incomes squeezed and prices rise • Support and promote practical solutions e.g. maximising family incomes, accessing services, reducing costs and removing barriers • Collectively advocate • Use knowledge and experience as tools in advocating for local, and national, policy proofing and structural changes needed
Support from CPAG in Scotland Information, training and advice on: • Healthy Start Vouchers • Statutory Maternity Pay/Maternity Allowance • Sure Start Maternity Grant • Child Benefit • Child Tax Credit • Working Tax Credit – help with childcare costs • Other financial help for families • Making effective referrals for local advice • The new Universal Credit • www.cpag.org.uk/scotland/taxcredits/early_years.htm
