Prevention and Independence update Public Health
1 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, Citizens Advice Bureau and
voluntary/community groups all providing in-reach support and
advice Timescale for completion and transition of services
