Brief Summary

The Children and Young People's Health Partnership (CYPHP) Evelina London model is an innovative, evidence-based approach to reshaping healthcare services in Southwark and Lambeth. The model of care is a complex health services public health intervention aiming to integrate care across organisational and professional boundaries. There is a major focus on improving front line care for all children and young people, and comprehensive proactive care for those with common and long-term conditions such as asthma, epilepsy, eczema, and constipation CYPHP Evelina London model of care is being adopted by the Clinical Commissioning Groups of Southwark and Lambeth as part of routine care. Early roll out of the model has already started. However, due to resource limitations, implementation will occur in phases. In the first phase (\~two years), half of GP practices in the Lambeth and Southwark area will implement the full model while others will offer enhanced usual care (EUC). The evaluation team will utilize this staged CCG roll out to evaluate the programme using a cluster randomised controlled trial design. It is expected that all the EUC practices will also adopt the CYPHP model within the next three years. The impact of the CYPHP Evelina London model will be assessed at two levels; at the population level ("Population evaluation") and among CYP with specific conditions ("Tracer condition evaluation"). The tracer condition evaluation will with consent, follow up CYP with tracer conditions (asthma, epilepsy, eczema, constipation) to assess the impact of the new model of care on health service use, quality of care, and child health measures including health-related quality of life. Cost-effectiveness will be assessed for population and tracer conditions.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Secondary Care service use

    Population Evaluation: To assess differences in rates of secondary care service use among CYP from GP practices delivering the CYPHP model compared with practices delivering EUC, up to two years' post-implementation of the service.

    Baseline and up to 2 years after

  • Health-related Quality of Life, measured by PEDSQL

    Tracer conditions evaluation: To assess differences in health-related quality of life among CYP with tracer conditions from practices delivering the CYPHP model compared with practices delivering EUC, up to two years' post-implementation of the service.

    Baseline, 1 year and 2 years

Study Arms (2)

CYPHP Evelina London Model

EXPERIMENTAL

Practice clusters across Lambeth and Southwark have been randomised to introduce either the CYPHP Evelina London model of care, or Enhanced Usual Care.

Other: CYPHP Evelina London Model of care

Enhanced Usual Care Model

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Practice clusters across Lambeth and Southwark have been randomised to introduce either the CYPHP Evelina London model of care, or Enhanced Usual Care.

Other: Enhanced Usual Care

Interventions

Universal services offer, Paediatric hotlines, Education and training for health professionals, Online decision support tools and guidelines, Young people-friendly access to primary care, and Resilience training in schools, Targeted services offered dependent on need. Children with any of the tracer conditions will be offered pathway based care including early intervention for physical and related mental health needs, paediatric nursing support, care plans shared with schools, medication reviews, and peer-led parenting support. Self-management support, social support signposting, and safety-netting are offered to all.

Eligibility Criteria

Age0 Years - 16 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17)

You may qualify if:

  • CYP\<16 years (In 2011, 2 years prior to CYPHP service start)
  • Registered with a participating practice in Lambeth and Southwark.
  • Registered with a participating practice in Lambeth and Southwark.
  • CYP\<16 years (In 2011, 2 years prior to CYPHP service start)
  • Diagnosed or identified as having one of the four tracer conditions by the CYPHP/EUC service, according to the service definitions

  • If the patient ceases to be registered with a participating practice.
  • If the patient moves their primary residence outside of Lambeth or Southwark.
  • With regards to epilepsy only: if the patient no longer receives treatment for their epilepsy by a consultant working within the Guy's and St. Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust or King's College London NHS Trust.
