LLR Patient Care Locally
Welcome
Welcome to LLR PCL.
We are a Community Interest Company (not for profit) who works collaboratively with the NHS to identify patient care needs which can be undertaken more locally in the community. We work with local healthcare organisations to commission and deliver this care. In this way, we help relieve pressure on the NHS and help provide a more efficient service to patients.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to support the delivery of high-quality healthcare, ensuring patients always receive a positive experience by being able to access clinically appropriate, transformational services closer to home.
What we do
Our aim is to provide the best possible care and outcomes for patients, in a timely manner and undertaken in a local setting. To achieve this, we work collaboratively with a number care providers. We embrace partnership working to deliver integrated care pathways to best meet the needs of the patient.
LLR PCL is committed to a dynamic approach which is responsive to the transforming structure of the NHS. We believe that our strategy is both efficient and sustainable, benefitting both healthcare professionals and patients.
Why the need for LLR PCL?
The demand for patient care and support is growing and, in some case, out-stripping the current resources available. We believe we can relieve pressure on parts of the NHS system by re-structuring the way in which some patient services are allocated, bringing them back into local communities. In doing so, we are able to facilitate improved care and an enhanced patient experience whilst also helping to meet the demands on the system.
How it works
Over the coming years, the services provided by the NHS will need to adapt so that they can continue to be delivered in a way which is responsive to patients needs but is also affordable for the NHS.
LLR PCL is focused on providing support to our primary care partners across the Leicester City and the counties of Leicestershire and Rutland. We contribute to the whole process of clinical pathway transformation:
- Identify patient activity which can be transferred into primary care
- Redesign patient pathways and healthcare services
- Subcontract new services to primary care providers
- Provide ongoing clinical governance
- Provide a high quality service delivery framework
- Contract management
- Centralised booking service and system support
LLR COVID Vaccination Programme
As a partner of the LLR healthcare system, when patient care is channelled into primary care, it can come into our contract. We will then subcontract this activity to primary care providers (majority local general practices) without the need for a lengthy and complex procurement process. We work with all our service providers and local system partners to ensure that services are established within the community to best meet patient needs.
How it benefits you
- Aim to provide NHS patients with better healthcare services within the community
- Aim to keep local healthcare services within the present LLR primary care providers whenever possible
- Provide services in an integrated fashion with other NHS and non- NHS health care providers
- Support the local health economy and reinvest profits back into our healthcare community
- Provide seamless, integrated support and services for patients and healthcare system partners
- Provide a flexible and bespoke approach to support primary care partners of all sizes and stages of development
- Embrace collaborative and partnership working to enhance relationships across all partners
Our pedigree
Since as early as 2008, the BMA, RCGP and Kings Fund have encouraged and supported federated working and collaborative arrangements amongst GP practices and localised services. This way of working enables general practitioners to attain the best from opportunities arising from NHS forward planning which proposes delivering primary care on a larger scale than previously experienced.
LLR PCL came into existence in 2011 as a response to the changing face of NHS service procurement and the new policy encouraging cooperative working.
In 2013 LLR PCL formed an Alliance with University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust (UHL), Leicester Partnership NHS Trust (LPT) and the three local Commissioning Groups; and was awarded the Elective Care Contract. We worked within the Alliance to help run Outpatient, Day case and Diagnostic Services within the community. In March 2022 the Elective Care contract came to an end and the Alliance was disbanded. However, the services that were moved out into the community continue to be delivered by PCL, UHL and LPT. We continue to work together, alongside wider stakeholder in the LLR health and social care system, to improve services.
As the healthcare system moves from Commissioning Groups to Integrated Care Systems and GP Practices begin to work more collaboratively in Primary Care Networks (PCNs), PCL’s role is developing. PCL is able to work at scale providing support to PCNs and GP Practices. We unite the voices of primary care partners through our shareholding practices and Partnership Board, delivering patient care locally.
