The Doncaster Urgent and Emergency Care (UEC) Area of Opportunity was identified by the Integrated Care Partnership as one of the 7 priority areas of focus within the Doncaster Place Plan.
The programme of work has been defined, with responsibility to oversee the following workstreams:
1. Intelligence: Understanding the UEC System
2. Development of Doncaster UEC Strategy
3. Prevention and Self Care
4. Doncaster UEC Model 2020
5. Integrated Urgent Care (IUC 111)
6. Ambulance Response and Conveyance
7. Discharge home from hospital
8. Clinical: Respiratory Pathways
redaction
Significant progress has been made in all areas, however, two of the key milestones within the programme are:
- April 2019 (111 Clinical Advice Service implementation)
- October 2019 (to inform the re-procurement of the Doncaster Urgent Care model.
It is therefore requested that the secondment period of the Project Manager is extended for a further 6 months to support the programme manager in both planning and delivery of the outlined work.

To agree the recommendation from Joint Commissioning Operational Group on 29 January 2019, to extend the secondment of the Project Manager supporting the Urgent and Emergency Care Area of Opportunity in the Place Plan for 6 months, funded from the Non-Recurrent Better Care Fund Earmarked Reserve Plan allocated to the Place Plan. Financial cost: for 1 FTE Project Manager, NHS Band 7 for 6 months is £20,893

Do Nothing Option
Risks associated with not extending this secondment include:
- Lack of capacity to deliver the project plan
- Delivery of the Urgent and Emergency Care Area of Opportunity in the Place Plan will not be achieved
