MYCaW Mid-Year Stocktake

Overview

In NCL, we have decided to use the MYCaW® (Measure Yourself Concerns and Wellbeing) tool in the Long Term Conditions LCS to measure the following three things:

1. To capture what's important to people through Personalised Care and Support Planning. 

2. To measure personalised care outcomes.

3. As an evidence gathering tool to capture what's missing from service provision in NCL. 

MYCaW® is an individualised questionnaire designed for evaluating holistic and personalised approaches to supporting people. It only takes a few minutes to complete and can routinely be incorporated into a consultation to understand and prioritise what a person most wants support with. It also helps us to learn whether there are common themes amongst our patients, which could lead to the development of business cases for services.

Please note that MYCaW® is also being introduced into the NCL Universal Care Plan LCS, so will start to be seen more often across NCL.

In order to strengthen our understanding of your early experience of MYCaW® and to support planning for 25/26, we’re asking all NCL primary care clinicians involved in long term condition care to please complete this short survey.

Please share this survey with all clinicians in your practice who are delivering the LTC LCS. 

The survey is 9 questions long and should only take 5-10 minutes to complete. Thank you for taking part and sharing your views.
