Health and social work services

Tender description

To provide suitable interventions so that service users, potential service users and their carers can prevent or self-manage the mentioned conditions (not exhaustive) and improve their well-being and mental health. The community café will be run from a central hub located in the borough of Enfield from which you can reach out into the community via satellite sites. This in turn will relieve pressures upon primary and secondary care, reduce crisis or A&E presentation and/or hospital admission. Service pathways will be coordinated and close working is required with the Public Health and Mental Health teams in prevention work. Service provision will be focused at low level support helping people who need support to prevent or self-manage their identifying conditions. The low-level support service for service users identified as at risk will be one of several newly commissioned services designed to shift the emphasis of health and adult social care services towards preventing the onset of chronic health conditions and intervening early to contain these conditions once they arise. In particular, the low-level support service would focus on primary prevention i.e. maintaining independence, educating and promoting good health and well-being and some secondary prevention i.e. identifying individual at risk or living with specific health conditions. Services will help maintain independence, health and well-being by promoting healthy and active lifestyles and improving access to universal good quality information about local services. This will be done in coordination with Outcome 6 ‘Increased and Improved Information Provision’. In addition, services will facilitate access to local services that are important to vulnerable people and their carer e.g. transport, leisure, health services, housing services, libraries, information and advice and services that support people to maintain a sense of health and well-being. Secondary prevention — services will act as an ‘early warning’ system by putting mechanisms in place to ensure that those ‘at risk’ of suffering health related problems or those struggling with self-management of their conditions. Services will refer to the appropriate agency should risk to a service user’s well-being increase or as and when required.
