Here's Yours Answer

Explanation:

◆With Members of Parliament looking into the delivery of health and care during the COVID-19 pandemic, our Chair reflects on how people’s experiences can help the NHS learn for the future.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way NHS and social care services work for the foreseeable future. The public is grateful to NHS staff and understands the challenges faced by health services during the crisis, but some people have also felt left in the lurch.

Although 76% of people polled said that feedback is an important way to improve services, many felt barriers remain. People are reluctant to provide negative feedback in case it increases pressure on services or staff.

We know that NHS and social care services won’t bounce back overnight - there will be problems to tackle - but also opportunities to make care better. However, this begins with services learning important lessons from people’s experiences of care to make improvements, especially in preparation for a possible second COVID-19 wave.

The Health and Care Select Committee is already looking into the delivery of core NHS and care services during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thanks to thousands of people telling us their stories of care during the pandemic, I was able to share our evidence, which highlights the persistent issues people have faced over the past few months.

Five lessons for the future:

Interruptions to care should be minimised

There are significant levels of fear and stress amongst people who have had appointments cancelled or their treatment paused. Some patients have also been afraid to visit services for fear of catching COVID-19.

This has resulted in widespread interruptions to everyday care, with significant impact on people with cancer awaiting potentially lifesaving treatment, as well as those needing important routine examinations, such as cervical screening. The main concern is that people were not sufficiently involved when their care was postponed and received no medical support to explain the implications of this.

We have also heard about the difficulties people face accessing B12 injections, which is concerning for individuals with pernicious anaemia – an autoimmune condition, which affects the body’s ability to produce fully functioning red blood cells - who cannot absorb B12 in tablet form. GP practices are inconsistent in how they provide these injections. Some have falsely cited government instructions as a reason to stop injections, whilst others have referred to out of date guidance. Services must provide accurate information to the public and listen to the valid worries their patients have about not receiving treatment.

Invest in good communication and accessible information: ,

Communication to explain changes to care has been lacking, which is why many people have been left confused and in a state of limbo about what happens next.

Services can help deal with these problems by investing in clearly telling people what support is available and how to access it, and making sure individuals understand where they are on a waiting list as services deal with the backlog that has built up.

Information also needs to be accessible. All too often during the pandemic people contacted our services because they could not get hold of advice in a format they could understand. In the rush to issue each wave of new guidance, the needs of people with a disability, impairment or sensory loss, or those whose first language is not English were often overlooked..

Hope it's helps you..
