PART TWO: PRIORITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT AND STATEMENTS OF ASSURANCE FROM THE BOARD
PART 3: OTHER INFORMATION
3.3 CLINICAL EFFECTIVENESS
3.3.1 Care Planning
Care planning is an on-going quality priority of the Trust. In 2010/11, our priority was to ensure that 95% of our patients have a care plan and we
consistently met this target over the last three years (see 1.3). In 2012/13, we shifted our focus on improving the quality of our care plans (see 1.2.1).
We developed the 7Cs standards to clearly define the standards expected of our care plans and implemented a process of monthly self and peer assessments. The scores are reported through our quality dashboards and performance management framework.
Our work on improving the quality of our care plans contributed towards achieving compliance with the CQC standards and improvement in our 2012 national patient survey scores, with the section on
‘care plans’ showing the largest improvement. The graph below shows we scored higher than the
national average around patients understanding their care plan. This was acknowledged by our CQC assessors who praised the improvements we have made in the quality of our care plans during the year.
The 7Cs standards are grouped under the following main headings:
Comprehensive and cross-checked
Collaborative Clear and concise Choices
Crisis/contingency Carried out
Carers and care for The standards are used to assess the quality of the care plans and include a section for patients and/or their carers where appropriate to give feedback on their views about their care plan and their involvement in planning and reviewing their care.

We aim to further improve our practice and monitoring arrangements around care planning.
This will include:
Reviewing the questions around care planning in our inpatient and community patient surveys. We will adapt the questions around the specific needs and requirements of individual services and patient groups.
Reviewing our guidelines and policy around care planning to strengthen the links with NICE guidelines and recovery principles.
Rolling our a consistent care plan template through RiO, our electronic patients records system.
3.3.2 Breastfeeding
Our community children’s services were under their targets for breastfeeding at the end of 2012/13 as shown in Table 20 below.
Table 18: Breastfeeding targets and performance

No target
set
95% 92.0% 93%
As a Trust we have strongly disputed the target which has been set in regard to breast feeding prevalence within Peterborough. This is for two principle reasons, firstly the target does not take account of the rapidly changing population and demographics of
Peterborough which would indicate reducing prevalence rates given that no new services have been commissioned in this area. Equally, given the service we provide in this area (Health Visiting), we have very limited scope to affect this performance given the
dependency that we have from other commissioned services such as community midwifery and maternity services and in the absence of other support services such as baby cafes.
However, we remain committed to continually improving the effectiveness of our health visiting services through active participation in a range of programmes such as UNICEF Baby Friendly Accreditation, but remain in active debate with our commissioners to establish an appropriate measure to indicate the support we provide to new mothers on breast feeding.
3.3.3 Participation in National Quality Improvement Programmes
National quality accreditation schemes provide a way of assessing the quality of our services and comparing our performance with other Trusts across the country. They provide assurance that our services are meeting the highest standards set by the professional bodies, and also provides us with a framework for quality improvement.
During 2012/13, CPFT participated in the following accreditation schemes run by the Royal College of Psychiatrists.
