In a bid to improve the health of the nation the government are to produce a 10 Year Health Plan to reform the health system. This will include providing care and support closer to where people live, hopefully reducing the need for hospitalisation.
The latest guidance envisages that "integrated neighbourhood teams will be responsible for the health of their local population, working with people, communities and partners to deliver joined-up, proactive and personalised care."
Health and care providers across Warwickshire are now working together to develop a plan for providing support and care closer to where people live, aiming to ensure that local needs are at the heart of their decisions and plans.
Do health and care providers need to consider delivering things differently to help and support people across the different parts of Warwickshire in the ways they need?
Should care be delivered closer to the places people call home to help keep them well and where possible, out of hospital?
Do health, care, and community & voluntary organisations work well together?
Healthwatch Warwickshire would like to hear your experiences of receiving care in Warwickshire. Your anonymised and themed feedback will be shared with SWFT (South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust), to help shape health and care that works for your area, aiming to ensure that everyone has a chance to say what is needed for themselves and their community.
