Community Integrated Care







2022

Research & Team Lead
Bridging communication between care providers via the

health through early detection in primary school as a means of prevention.

0.1 Proposal

Outcome

To build a partnership between community links practitioners and NHS 24; incorporating them as primary care providers capable of addressing the complex care needs that NHS 24 is currently unable to. Addressing changing needs from the pandemic, understanding that mental well-being and isolation issues have been amplified.

Aims
  • Increasing access to social prescription, 
  • Recognizing that mental health treatment is most successful when all psychosocial symptoms are attended to. 
  • Social prescription is understood to reduce demands on the health care system and empower patients through wholistic treatment.

Redefining Urgent Care
Our re-definition includes:
  • The addition of psychosocial symptoms,
  • The inclusion of a community links practitioner as a primary service provider.
