  Live Longer, Live Better

  Part of the Live Longer, Live Better campaign is looking to utilise digital platforms to support effective social prescribing. The platform will use NHS Numbers as a unique identifier to enable highly personalised packages of health and wellbeing support to be collated in response to the individual user’s own NHS data and personal profile which can support link workers in making referrals and recommendations. The system also will be integrated with the Patient Electronic Health Record (EHR) and be capable of utilising SNOMED CT clinical terminology as the principle driver to support monitoring and evaluation.

  Women's Health Network

  This innovation was designed and delivered by the Hills, Brook & Dale’s Social Prescriber Link Worker (SPLW) team. to address health inequalities by proactively engaging patients, to encourage supportive community connections and raise awareness of how to better manage their health. The SPLW team have been able to use their learning of delivering 1-2-1 patient support across the PCN, draw on the support of clinical colleagues, and capitalise on the successful relationships they have built with community partner organisations, to deliver a comprehensive schedule of patient engagement sessions to further bridge the gap between primary care and community-based support services.

  Connected Care Programme

  The health of people in Slough is varied, with a life expectancy 4 years lower than the England average. Using a population health management tool, over 3,000 residents were identified in the most deprived areas and living with chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension and surveyed to produce a powerful dataset that informed a social commissioning offer through richer, deeper insights into patient reported needs.
