 Policy - NHS Constitution for England The constitution sets out rights for patients, public and staff. It outlines NHS commitments to patients and staff, and the responsibilities that the public, patients and staff owe to one another to ensure that the NHS operates fairly and effectively. All NHS bodies and private and third sector providers supplying NHS services are required by law to take account of this constitution in their decisions and actions. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-nhs-constitution-for-england  Updated Policy April 2013 - Improving care for people with dementia There are around 800,000 people with dementia in the UK, and the disease costs the economy £23 billion a year. By 2040, the number of people affected is expected to double - and the costs are likely to treble. A lot can be done to help people cope with the symptoms of dementia. But at the moment, the diagnosis rate in England is only 45% - lower than Scotland and Northern Ireland. The aim is to increase diagnosis rates so that they’re among the best in Europe by: •making sure that doctors give 65 to 74 year olds information about memory services as part of the NHS health check programme, and refer them for assessment if they need it (from April 2013) •making £1 million available for innovative NHS projects to increase diagnosis rates through the Innovation Challenge Prize for Dementia •launching a new toolkit to help GPs provide better support https://www.gov.uk/government/policies/improving-care-for-people-with-dementia  Policy - Reducing obesity and improving diet (published March 2013) Helping people make healthier choices In England, most people are overweight or obese. This includes 61.3% of adults and 30% of children aged between 2 and 15. People who are overweight have a higher risk of getting type 2 diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers. Health problems associated with being overweight or obese cost the NHS more than £5 billion every year. By 2020, the Department of Health want to see: •a downward trend in the level of excess weight in adults •a sustained downward trend in the level of excess weight in children https://www.gov.uk/government/policies/reducing-obesity-and-improving-diet  Policy - Helping people make informed choices about health and social care (published Currently NHS patients can (in most circumstances) choose their GP or the hospital they’re referred
to. And personal budgets are giving people more choice and control over their social care and
support arrangements. Introducing more choice will help people get the care and support that’s
right for them, and make services more responsive to their needs. The Department of Health want
everyone to have access to the information and advice they need to make the right choices for
them. https://www.gov.uk/government/policies/helping-people-make-informed-choices-about-

Report highlights growing need to improve end of life care for minority ethnic groups. This report
highlights that the end of life care needs of Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities are varied,
growing and despite examples of good practice, overall not adequately met. A systematic review
found that lack of knowledge about services, misunderstandings and mistrust, and a lack of cultural
sensitivity on the part of service providers are identified as some of the reasons for low uptake of
end of life care by BAME communities. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/report-highlights-

The Keogh Review
. Eleven hospitals are being placed in special measures because of major failings
the government has announced. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said the 11 trusts, among 14
investigated for high death rates, had problems so entrenched that tough action was needed. He
cited examples of staffing problems, poor care and weak leadership. At both a local and national
level, key findings have been collated and examined and recommendations have been made

 Putting Patients First: The NHS England Business Plan for 2013/14 – 2015/16 NHS England’s business plan for 2013/14 – 2015/16, called Putting Patients First, explains how its commitment to transparency and increasing patients’ voice are fundamental to improving patient care http://www.england.nhs.uk/pp-1314-1516/  Everyone counts: Planning for Patients 2013/14 Outlines the incentives and levers used to improve services in the first year of the new NHS, where improvement is driven by clinical commissioners. http://www.england.nhs.uk/everyonecounts/  Medicines Optimisation: Helping patients to make the most of medicines NHS England is supporting its call for health professionals and patients to work together to ensure better use of medicines. Medicines play a crucial role in maintaining health, preventing illness, managing chronic conditions and curing disease. In an era of significant economic, demographic and technological challenge it is crucial that patients get the best quality outcomes from medicines. http://www.rpharms.com/promoting-pharmacy-pdfs/helping-patients-make-the-most-of-their-medicines.pdf  'A guide for Paediatricians: Children's Epilepsy Surgery Service (CESS) Guidelines for children's epilepsy brain surgery referrals in England' Epilepsy Action, in association with NHS England, has developed new guidelines to help more
children with epilepsy benefit from surgical procedures. This has been developed for paediatricians
and will help to increase the number of children referred for epilepsy surgery. The guidelines have
been produced following the introduction of a new Children's Epilepsy Surgery Service (CESS) last
year.
