A 7 Day NHS – Objectives for the session
By 2020, the ambition is that everyone will be able to have access to:
Weekend and evening access to primary care.
Faster, more streamlined access to urgent care, seven days a week through the
111 phone number.
Consistent standards of urgent and emergency hospital care, senior doctors and
diagnostics no matter which day of the week you are admitted.
Routine General Practice: “If I need to make a routine, planned appointment to
see or speak to a GP, I can get an evening or weekend appointment. My GP
surgery offers a mix of face-to-face, telephone, email and video consultations.”
Urgent care: “If I have an urgent need, I can phone or electronically contact NHS
111 and the NHS will arrange for me to see or speak to a GP or other appropriate
health professional – any hour of the day and any day of the week.”
Emergency hospital admissions: “If I need to be admitted to hospital in an
emergency, I will receive the same high quality of assessment, diagnosis and
treatment, any day of the week and any hour of the day. An experienced clinician
will make timely decisions about my care and I will be able to access the
diagnostic and treatment services I need.”
NHS 111
A 7 Day NHS – The Ambition
7 day services is about reducing variation, and ensuring high quality care
for all people every day of the week
Along side this is ongoing work to ensure that patients have 24/7 access
to mental health crisis care
NHS Five Year Forward View
“To reduce variations in when
patients receive care, we will develop
a framework for how seven day
services can be implemented
affordably and sustainably,
recognising that different solutions
will be needed in different localities”

7 Day Hospitals – Background and context
There is evidence of variation in outcomes for patients
admitted to hospital at the weekend.
A substantial body of evidence exists which indicates significant variation in
outcomes for patients admitted to hospitals in an emergency, at the weekend across
the NHS in England.
This variation is seen in:
o patient experience
o length of hospital stay
o re-admission rates
o mortality rates
Additionally medical, nursing, other health professional and managerial staffing
levels, as well as trainee doctors’ perceptions of supervision by consultants, also
vary by day of the week.
A 7 Day NHS – Background and context
Seven Day Services - National Clinical Standards Four priority standards have been selected from the 10 clinical standards developed
by the NHS Services, Seven Days a Week Forum as most likely to have the greatest
impact in tackling variations in mortality, patient flow and experience: Selection is
supported by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges.
A 7 Day NHS - Seven Day Clinical Standards
• Standard 2: Time to consultant review
• Standard 5: Access to diagnostics
• Standard 6: Access to consultant directed interventions
• Standard 8: On-going review by senior decision makers
The 4 priority standards will be measured through the Bi annual survey:
25% population March 2017, 50%: March 2018, 100%: March 2020
Clinical standards
which enable
sustainable delivery
• Standard 1: Patient Experience

Staff rotas and working practices
Ensure acute take consultant presence from 8am to 8pm every day (especially for high volume specialties such as medicine).
On high volume units such as most AMUs use rolling ward rounds through the day to keep up with the new patients arriving.
Best clinical practice
Write into policy the expectation that patients admitted before 8pm will be seen by the evening take consultant before he/she goes home.
Ensure that handover lists used for take ward rounds include time of arrival, admission and ward for all patients to support the on take consultant to prioritise the order in which they see patients on the ward rounds.
Effective recording
Ensure that entry in the medical notes makes clear that consultant is assessing the patient and the time.
Ensure patients assessed by an appropriate consultant in ED or in clinic prior to admission to hospital are recorded as meeting the standard.
Clinical Engagement
Ensure that all team members, particularly junior doctors and senior ward nurses know the importance of a prompt consultant assessment for new and undifferentiated patients.
Senior staff demonstrate commitment to the aims of the 7DS programme

Briefing Update
Dan Duggan UEC PMO Lead
NHS England Midlands & East
March 2017
“By 1st November 2017, meet the four
priority standards for seven-day hospital
services for all urgent network specialist
services.” (pages 7 & 14)
The shared planning guidance outlines the ambition for five
urgent network services to meet the four priority seven day
hospital services clinical standards by November 2017.
Responsibility for ensuring delivery of this ambition lies with the regional urgent and
emergency care networks. The UEC Networks will need to work closely with NHS
Improvement, Regional Specialised Commissioning teams, the regional 7 day
services teams, regional ODNs and relevant Clinical Network clinical leads.
These organisations will in turn be supported by national policy teams involved in
seven day hospital services and the urgent and emergency care programme.
These five urgent network services are:
• Acute stroke services
• Paediatric intensive care
• STEMI heart attack centres
• Major trauma units
• Emergency vascular services
Meeting the four priority clinical standards ensure that inpatients
receive high-quality care on an ongoing 24/7 basis
• Standard 2: Time to consultant review
• Standard 5: Diagnostics
• Standard 6: Consultant directed interventions
• Standard 8: On-going review in high dependency areas
Priority clinical
standards
• These priority standards have been selected from 10 clinical standards developed by the
NHS Services, Seven Days a Week Forum as they are most likely to have the greatest
impact in tackling variations in mortality, patient flow and experience.
Standard 2
All emergency admissions
must be seen and have a
thorough clinical
assessment by a suitable
consultant as soon as
possible but at the latest
within 14 hours from the
time of admission to
hospital.
Standard 5
Hospital inpatients must
have scheduled seven-day
access to consultant-
directed diagnostic tests
and completed reporting
will be available seven
days a week:
• Within 1 hour for critical
patients
• Within 12 hours for
urgent patients
Standard 6
Hospital inpatients must
have timely 24 hour
access, seven days a
week, to consultant-
directed interventions that
meet the relevant specialty
guidelines, either on-site or
through formally agreed
networked arrangements
with clear protocols
Standard 8
All patient with high-
dependency needs should
be reviewed twice daily by
a consultant and all other
inpatients should be
reviewed by a consultant
once daily seven days a
week

At a strategic level, the UEC Programme Board and 7DS Delivery Group will
link to provide input into their respective responsibilities. This will be
complemented at a delivery level by links between UEC Networks and
regional NHS England and NHSI 7DS teams to share intelligence and advice.
To identify where these services are in relation to these standards, a
national baseline exercise was undertaken. At a national level, some
services are largely compliant, while others need further work.
Service Current position
Acute stroke units • Majority of services meet or are close to meeting the
standards.
• Clear need for services to be reconfigured in specific
areas to ensure that standards are met on a 24/7 basis
nationwide.
• Many areas have plans in place to deliver these changes,
other areas will need to drive this forward.
Paediatric intensive
care
• All services currently meet the four priority standards.
STEMI heart attack
centres
• Vast majority of services meet the standards.
• Handful of units need to either move to 24/7 operation or
cease taking patient altogether.
Major trauma centres • All services currently meet the four priority standards.
Emergency vascular
services
• Many services do not meet the standards.
• Concerns over large number of derogations in place
locally.

However, it proved difficult to provide a comprehensive picture through the
national baseline exercise. In many cases, proxy measures were used while
other areas had no national data available to measure performance

To build on this information and ensure delivery, UEC Networks
should consider the following steps
1. Alignment and Governance
2. Map services
3. Baseline assessment
4. Regional delivery plan
5. Monitor and assure progress
• Regional UEC Networks need to work closely with NHS
Improvement, Regional Specialised Commissioning teams the
regional Sustainable Improvement 7 day services teams, regional
ODNs and relevant Clinical Network clinical leads to deliver this
work.
• To be able to plan joint actions to improve compliance and report on
progress to both the UEC delivery board and the 7 day services
hospital delivery group, robust governance structures should be
established.
• These regional governance structures should be in place by the end
January 2017.
1/ Alignment and Governance: Ensure NHS England and NHS
Improvement regional alignment and that appropriate
governance structures are in place
• Each region needs to undertake a mapping of the 5 services to
understand current provision and where any reconfiguration may
take place.
• Specialised Commissioners should have much of this information
available already. Derogations need to be reviewed to consider if
they should remain or whether services should be recommissioned
elsewhere.
• This mapping exercise should be completed by the end January
2017.
2/ Map Services: understanding provision and any possible
reconfigurations which could help deliver improvements
• Each region should review the compliance of each provider
(identified from the mapping process) for each of the four core
standards for each of the five services they may provide, building on
the national baseline.
• It may be necessary, where national audits do not provide the
assurance needed at unit level, to ask providers to undertake an
audit of their last ten patients treated by that service. This applies in
particular to Vascular, Paediatric Intensive Care and Major Trauma
services.
• This baseline assessment will be completed by the end March 2017.
3/ Baseline assessment: build on national exercise to assess
the regional picture, based on local information
• Each region will be required to develop their own delivery plan
which describes the actions to be taken by NHSE, NHSI, specialised
commissioning and UEC networks with providers to ensure
compliance of services by November 2017.
• This plan would need to signed off by NHSE and NHSI regional
directors and shared with the UEC Programme Board and 7 Day
Services Delivery Group.
4/ Regional Delivery Plan: Develop a plan from results of
regional baseline assessment to deliver the four core
standards for the five services by November 2017
• Regions will continue to monitor progress against their delivery plan
at their regional UEC board. Progress will be reported by exception
to the UEC Programme Board and 7 Day Hospital Services Delivery
Group.
• A further measurement of compliance with the four core standards
would need to be undertaken in September 2017 to confirm
progress has been made and that the four core standards are being
delivered by providers of the 5 specialist services. The same
methodology should be used as used earlier in the year by all
regions.
5/ Monitor and assure progress: Monitor progress against the
delivery plan and undertake a further assessment in
September 2017 to assure progress has been made and
standards delivered
