The overall programme objective is to support the AHPs in the SE to lead on strengthening the integration between Social Care and Health services, with a focus on adult care, for the benefit of the community they serve.
BHSCA is working in partnership with Allied Health Solutions (AHS), to deliver NHSE SE WT&E commissioned programme called ALIGNS.
The aim is to support the AHPs in the SE to lead on strengthening the integration between H&SC. This work is based on the NHSE AHPs Integration Framework, published in 2023.
Bucks is one of four regional case study sites with the focus being to develop a proof of concept for Enhanced Care Integration Teams, and explore the development of a new volunteer role to support frail adults transitioning from the NHS into social care.
The programme of work is scheduled to be delivered in Autumn 2025 with an interim report at the end of March 2025.
Health Inequalities Communities of Practice
Do you work or volunteer with people who experience health inequalities?
Health inequalities are unfair, avoidable differences in health across the population, and between separate groups within society. Inequalities include how long people are likely to live, health conditions they may experience and care that is available to them.
What is a Community of Practice and how can it help address health inequalities?
A Community of Practice (CoP) is a group of people who share a common concern (e.g. health inequality), a set of problems, or an interest in a topic and who come together to fulfil both individual and group goals.
