Update • Overview of mapping of current provision • Emerging model for prevention • Key workstreams – Prevention & Independence
Mapping of existing provision • Mapping undertaken of prevention services – primary, secondary, tertiary • Both statutory services and external provision • Gaps in information (VCS, external providers) • Provides snapshot overview of provision and does not reflect quality or performance
Mapping conclusions • Difficult to pinpoint specific ‘gaps’ due to the complex nature of individual cases • Does not consider demand management implications / capacity issues • Mapping needs to inform development of the prevention model and be used to develop a complete directory of services of current prevention services • Pathways between social care and the range of services in existence need to be strengthened
Emerging model for prevention Rationale • High level of deprivation across the town and the variation in health inequalities between wards • Growing austerity measures impacting on service provision, often leading to deterioration of poor health and the subsequent demand management issue • Significant work within public health around remodelling preventative services has taken place over recent months, including the decommissioning of some services • Evidence suggests that individuals often present with multiple issues, therefore there is a greater need for integrated services
Health and Wellbeing Hub • Operated from a town centre location that has the opportunity to combine the following : • integrated ‘one-stop-shop’ approach • increased access and uptake of a wide range of public health preventative commissioned services, such as weight management and nutrition, physical activity, smoking cessation, mental and sexual health services; • a social prescribing offer which will strengthen the skills and ability of the voluntary and community sector to respond to increased demand • enhanced offer for clients with complex needs requiring a pathway of enablement support • broader support services from housing providers, Job Centre Plus, Citizen’s Advice Bureau and voluntary/community groups all providing in-reach support and advice • Timescale for completion and transition of services – July-September 2016
Prevention & Independence key workstreams • Information, advice and advocacy • Targeted and enhanced prevention • Assistive technology • Intermediate care • Major and minor adaptations • Stronger communities and asset based approach • Falls Prevention
