The service will cover the geographic boundaries of the North East London Health and Care Partnership (Barking and Dagenham, City of London, Hackney, Havering, Newham, Redbridge, Tower Hamlets, and Waltham Forest). The service aims to support providers of health and social care services in North East London to increase the knowledge and skills of their staff in supporting people with Learning Disabilities and Autism and to ensure compliance with relevant legislation. It will: • Deliver 300 Tier 2 Oliver McGowan training sessions over an 18 month period • Deliver 100 Tier 1 part 2 Oliver McGowan training sessions over an 18 month period • Ensure that all training delivery is compliant with the Oliver McGowan code of practice • Collaborate with NEL's in-house training hub for Oliver McGowan training • Increase the capacity across NEL of trainers with lived experience to deliver Oliver McGowan training sessions • Support individuals with lived experience to maintain paid work in delivering Oliver McGowan training sessions Service description Following the introduction of a statutory requirement for training on learning disability and autism in the 2022 Health and Care Act, providers of Health and Social Care have a duty to upskill their staff. The gold standard of this training is Oliver McGowan Training and this service will increase the number of Tier 1 and Tier 2 trained staff across North East London. The service will meet a gap by training 3000 staff in Tier 1 part 2 training and helping North East London to introduce Tier 2 training, with an expected 9000 staff completing the training across the length of the contract. It is expected that at least 30% of sessions will be delivered between September 2025 and March 2026, with the remaining sessions profiled across the 2026-27 financial year.

This will support the sustainability of training delivery across North East London, with best practice shared between delivery partners. The service will predominantly deliver training across the boroughs of Waltham Forest, Havering, Barking and Dagenham and Redbridge, though coverage of the entire geography of North East London should be available where required. To ensure adequate capacity of the training across North East London, this service should work with partners to recruit, train and retain experts with lived experience to deliver the training sessions. This will provide paid employment opportunities to individuals with Learning Disabilities and Autism and support our tackling of health inequalities. This may include working with voluntary sector organisations and local authorities to ensure that individuals are supported appropriately, and an expectation to provide pastoral support to experts with lived experience is inherent in the service.

Primary Care Urgent Same Day Access Service has been identified as a critical service required across NEL to support the wider primary care and urgent care systems, ensuring that inappropriate and increased demand does not present at UTCs and Acute settings This provision has met demand in the system that would otherwise put pressure upon already stretched UEC services during critical times and risk overwhelming them, causing quality risks to patients. It has been identified that managing exacerbations of chronic conditions within Primary Care is also more effective for residents as opposed to attending acute or urgent care provision and leads to a more joined up approach to managing population health. The access hubs are a key component of the transformational programme of work that is being undertaken to deliver the NHSE Plan for Recovering Access to Primary Care and are also aligned to longer term strategic drivers such as the Fuller programme's same day access workstream. As part of a 3-year plan to transforming access provision in North East London, a business case was approved on 15th June 2023 to deliver a new model for access hubs led by PCNs, which was due to be implemented from 1st October 2023 - 31st September 2026 with break clauses to ensure the ability to change the service as required. Funding approved for NEL • Funding value: £22,881,021 (£7,627,007 per annum) The current provider for the Primary Care Urgent Same Day Access Service in Waltham Forest is Waltham Forest Federated GP Network Ltd whose contract ended on the 30th June 2024 and are currently providing the service under an implied contract. As part of the same day access modelling, it was planned that we would move on to a PCN led service from 1st July 2024 however following engagement with the PCN CDs, more time has been requested to test out the models to ensure that we have a smooth transition over to the PCN led service.
