The Portsmouth Super Six model of care is one of those which tried to answer the million dollar question: which bits of diabetes care need to be in hospitals?
In the main, it boils down to areas of care which need multidisciplinary care, access to investigations or are specific issues related to a hospital, such as antenatal care, inpatient diabetes to name just a couple.
The Extensive Care service aims to greatly improve care for people who often need it the most by providing one comprehensive service for all of their needs in order to reduce their risk of hospitalisation.
This means all the doctors, nurses, care co-ordinators and other professionals which their needs require are in the same place, working together, to provide the necessary support to keep them well for longer and out of hospital.
The service is aimed at people aged 60 and above who have two or more long-term conditions, such as diabetes or chronic heart problems. People in this category can often find themselves seeing the doctor regularly about a number of different conditions and can feel confused, frustrated and uneasy about where to go for medical help.
Through Recovery at Home, those who need greater support while they’re getting back to normal after a short term condition can also be provided with bed-based care, meaning more intensive support can be offered in their own home, including residential or nursing care homes. And those who need to be in a fully supported environment will be given all of the support and advice they need to get them ready to return home and live independently.
This centralised team gives carers, GPs, health and social care staff, as well as other agencies, like the police, an invaluable single point of contact for some of the most vulnerable people in our communities who are at greatest risk of hospitalisation.
Based on a model of care from the Netherlands (known as the Buurtzorg model), they are about to establish their first ‘self-managed’ teams of nurses who will deliver dedicated personal, social and health care to patients in a small area of Tower Hamlets.
The team will work collaboratively with formal and informal networks to ensure provision of holistic patient-centred care that promotes self-management, patient engagement and improves overall patient and staff satisfaction.
Our Trust is one of four healthcare providers to be awarded the £10m-a-year Kirklees healthy child contract.
Story provides details of range of services covered by contract and organisations involved.
The team – based centrally in one location at Leechmere, Grangetown – aims to support adults who live in Sunderland, who are registered with a Sunderland GP and need short term health and or social care support, that can help to keep them living at home, with care wrapped around them while they’re at their most vulnerable.
Support is tailored to a person’s needs and can be any combination of a short term care package, from nursing to therapy to get them back on their feet without having to be hospitalised or needing long term care. GP support is also available within the service.
