1 INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE

The purpose of this report is to present the findings from the GP survey which was carried out during January and February 2015. GP ratings and GP perceptions of service strengths and areas to improve were collected. The report also compares the results with those from the 2013 GP survey where possible. Findings will be used alongside other data to improve NTW services in the future.

2 BACKGROUND

2.1 The 2015 process commenced in January when the survey was sent personally addressed to all of the 1,039 GPs that NTW serves via post. The survey was accompanied by the first edition of the newly revamped GP Fast Update newsletter. An electronic version of the survey was also developed by NTW’s in-house development team and this was emailed to all Practice Managers at the same time as paper copies were posted to give GPs the option to complete the survey electronically. A database of GP contacts was purchased for this purpose as neither NTW nor the CCGs had access to such comprehensive information.

2.2 A total of 254 completed surveys were received, which constitutes a response rate of 24.4%. This compares with 21.7% in 2013, which was the last and only other occasion that the survey has been undertaken. In 2015, 84.3% of the responses were received on paper and 15.7% were completed online.

2.3 During the data analysis process, “blanks” (i.e. when the respondent has not offered any answer to a question) have been excluded from the calculations and are not presented in this report. Answers of “Not Applicable” are included in the graphs in this report for information but are excluded from the percentage calculations to enhance accuracy and consistency of findings.

2.4 There were changes to the questions in the 2015 GP survey as compared to the 2013 survey, which made direct and consistent comparison of results between the 2015 and 2013 surveys difficult. Each CCG area received their own service specific survey and the questions were slightly amended to reflect variations in the provision of services across CCG areas and the benefit to patient care that NTW services provide. The 2015 GP survey questions will be duplicated for the 2016 GP survey and so consistent comparison across all NTW services will be possible in future.

3 KEY ISSUES

3.1 Statistical Validity of the Survey

With a response rate of 24.4% (see Appendix 1) there is 95% confidence that the results are representative (+/- 5.4%) of the GP population that NTW serves. To make comparisons between 2013 and 2015 if GP ratings have changed upwards or downwards by more than 5.4% they are statistically significant. However, due to the changes in questions in the 2015 GP survey compared to 2013, this year over 50% of services have no absolute, direct comparison. For any analysis of comparisons between 2013 and 2015 this needs to be taken into account. It also needs to be recognised that the 2015 GP survey provides some key

2

indicators of NTW service strength and areas to improve, but these need to be considered alongside NTW performance data and patient and staff views.

3.2 Key Survey Findings

Analysis of the survey results, including by service, is included as Appendix 2 and the collated verbatim comments are included as Appendix 3.

Whilst a number of different types of GP ratings were collected, the GP ratings have been summarised by:

1. Benefit of NTW services to patients’ mental health (as this is NTW’s primary

function) 2. Ease of making contact for support/advice/referral (as this is a key element of

facilitating collaborative style care) 3. Wait time to assessment (as this is critical to patients)

Whilst considering these ratings it must be noted that NTW does not currently provide the following services:

IAPT, Crisis / IRT, Memory Protection Service, CYPS or Learning Disability in North Tyneside

IAPT, Older Peoples Mental Health Teams, Learning Disability or Substance Misuse in Gateshead

Memory Protection Service in Northumberland, Newcastle North & East or Newcastle West

Substance Misuse in Sunderland

IAPT in South Tyneside 3.2.1 Ratings

The following tables summarise each service’s rating from GPs in the 3 main areas as outlined above:

Benefit of NTW services to patients’ mental health - Very Good to Satisfactory

6 Memory Protection Service 87.3%

7 Crisis / IRT 85.3%

8 Substance Misuse 80.8%

9 CYPS 69.5%

On average 88% of GPs rate the benefit of NTW services to patients’ mental health as very good to satisfactory

3.2.2 Verbatim Comments

The key points summarised from the verbatim comments were:

Positive verbatim comments:

Many positive comments were made acknowledging individual staff members’ commitment and patient care

Crisis team and Initial Response Teams received many positive comments with acknowledgements of improvements made

IAPT received high GP ratings

Changes in Community mental health teams where transformation had occurred were noted

Older people services showed many marked improvements Areas for improvement from the verbatim comments:

4

Community mental health teams had some negative verbatim comments relating to referral process and bounce backs of referrals (this was mainly in Gateshead, North Tyneside and South Tyneside). There were also some very positive comments with improvements noted across all areas

CYPS in Northumberland and Gateshead received some negative verbatim comments. These included comments relating to slow wait time, referral criteria, bounce back, poor access in crisis, long wait to care, poor communication, service not fit for purpose and transitions

Memory Protection services received negative comments about the referral procedure and physical health investigations required
