4 1 Project Background 1.1 Responsibility for implementation of the National Friends and Family Test (NHS FFT) recently (1 st April 2013) passed from the Department of Health to NHS England (previously the NHS Commissioning Board). 1.2 The NHS England Team will be directed by Tim Kelsey, National Director for Patients and Information and led by Giles Wilmore, Director for Patient & Public Voice & Information. Workstreams will be supported by Samantha Riley, Director of Insight and Clare Enston, Insight and Feedback Lead, along with Andrew MacPherson, Director of The Strategic Projects and Delivery who joined Tim Kelsey s and Jane Cumming s (Chief Nursing Officer), directorates in April This Project Initiation Documentation builds on the National FFT Programme PID and goes into the details specific to the Mental Health Trusts & Community Healthcare Trusts Workstream. 2 Project Definition 2.1 This document estimates and suggests a timeline delivery of the Friends and Family Test Guidance for NHS funded care in the Mental Health and Community Healthcare Pathway by March The programme approach is the development of provider-focused guidance to support this. 2.3 The extension of the Friends and Family Test to those under 16 and vulnerable adults is identified as a specialist workstream across all Friends and Family pathways, with Subject Matter Expert (SME) leads. 2.4 The delivery of the Mental Health and Community Healthcare Trusts NHS FFT programme by the SPT includes: Governance Scoping and design of the work stream Development and testing of the methodology, with output being the publication guidance Communications, marketing strategy and stakeholder engagement, working with nominated national and regional communications leads 2.5 Completion of the project according to agreed plans will be dependent on a number of factors and risks; in particular resistance to change and availability of resources may affect plans and thereby impact on timelines and costs. SPT and NHS England will seek to review any changes and agree impacts and project plan amendments within 30 days of a policy change. Page 4 of 15

5 3 Project Aims and Objectives Aims 3.1 Building on the overall aim, as stated in the NHS England business plan, the intention of the Mental Health Community Healthcare Workstream is to develop the implementation, publication and reporting guidance to support the application of the FFT by Providers and Commissioners across Mental Health &Community Healthcare Services. Objectives 3.2 To develop the Mental Health and Community Healthcare Provider guidance by Q2 2014, building on existing pilots and early adoption, utilising the Implementation, Publication and R 3.3 Reporting guidance that has been developed for Acute In Patient, A&E and Maternity. This will ensure that where possible all guidance for the NHS Friends and Family Tests are consistent and familiar across all pathways. Benefits 3.4 The benefit of asking the NHS Friends and Family Test in Mental Health & Community Healthcare Trusts is that there will be a current insight into the patient s experience of the overall service they receive. The attendant comments will give the Mental and Community Healthcare Provider immediate feedback from their patients, enabling them to make changes that can influence provision and productivity in the immediate future. FFT will be positioned as a service to providers and commissioners to excel and to patients, to participate in the development of their National Health Service and support. FFT in Mental Health presents additional opportunity to engage with patients who may sometimes be cognitively and emotionally challenged. 3.5 The patient, guardian and carer will be given FFT information to assist an informed choice when deciding on a Mental Health or Community Healthcare Provider. 3.6 The public will be offered insight into service experience in Mental Health & Community Healthcare Trusts, consistent with NHS FFT information for the Acute Inpatient and A&E services from July 2013 and Maternity Units from October Key Project Milestone 4.1 Table 1 provides indicative milestones to achieve guidance issue by March Table 1 Mental Health Trusts & Community Healthcare Key Project Milestones Milestone Complete Expanded Project Setup (based on existing regional) Completion Date May/June 2013 Page 5 of 15

6 Project documentation, PID, development plan Terms of reference Group membership Meeting schedule Identify and work with early adopter sites to test guidance and data management Complete Mental Health & Community Healthcare Guidance for all providers July 2013 March Project Organisation 5.1 Overview The combined, overall programme establishes a core team of 10 (along with 4 regional PMs for geographical implementation and liaison with regional patient experience leads) to allow an incremental build to full FFT across all pathways in the NHS. The progressive national approach is designed to increasingly leverage accumulated experience and provide cost avoidance. The Mental Health & Community Healthcare Trusts workstream forms a part of this programme There will be a single programme management office, hosted by Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit and based in Cambridge, on behalf of the NHS England. Andrew MacPherson will continue to maintain oversight of governance, services to NHS FFT and the associated projects. The Accountable Officer for the national programme management office will continue to be Andrew MacPherson, working in conjunction with NHS England colleagues and regional responsible officers The Mental Health & Community Healthcare Trust workstream will be lead by the Project manager supported by the wider programme team and working groups 5.2 Development and Implementation Development of the provider/pathway guidance Area Teams (AT) and Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG s) will be approached in early 2013/14 to request that they appoint early adopters for progressive testing of the guidance and data management throughout the project. These will be supported through a team of four regional programme managers who will engage and work with the regional offices, AT s and CCGs Provider/Pathway Guidance will be developed as follows: Mental Health & Community Healthcare Trusts guidance in March 2014 Page 6 of 15

7 6 Project Governance 6.1 Effective governance is critical to the success of any programme. In particular, clearly and transparently defining the authority and roles of each organisation and group will be essential to ensuring the necessary approvals are obtained in a timely manner. 6.2 The Strategic Projects Team has agreed the terms of reference with the NHS England. There is a generic memorandum of understanding as is the SPT standard model which has been exchanged between the programme manager office s accountable officer and the NHS England s principal officer. 6.3 Governance of the Mental Health & Community Healthcare Trusts workstream will be provided through three routes: Programme Board (PB) Programme Management Group (PMG) Project Working Group (PWG) 6.4 There will be a Specialist Working Group (SWG) that will be overarching across all workstreams to ensure the needs of under 16 s and vulnerable people are covered. 7 Programme Board Overview 7.1 The Programme Board will be responsible for the overall direction and management of the Programme and has the responsibility and authority for the Programme. The Programme Board will be held to account by NHS England who are ultimately accountable for this programme. The proposed structure for oversight of the programme is included in Annex A. The Mental Health & Community Health Trust workstream form s a part of this programme. 7.2 Membership 7.3 Membership of the Programme Board will ensure both the appropriate level of oversight and key involvement of influential stakeholders: 7.4 In addition, the Area Team NHS FFT leads or a nominated representative for the group may be invited to join the Programme Board. 7.5 The Strategic Projects Team will provide all secretariat for the Programme Board. 7.6 The Programme Board will meet monthly and those meetings will generally take the form of a video conference.
