Felixstowe
Since May 2016, the organisations involved in the Felixstowe Connect Integrated Neighbourhood Team (INT) have been working closer together to provide the right mix of support in a more efficient and timely manner to meet people’s needs.
To date, there have been many good news stories where local people are feeling the benefits and further improvements will be made as the Connect way of working continues to develop. These include:
- GPs and Adult and Community Services working together
Through Connect, there is now good joint work between GPs and Adult and Community Services. Regular Adult Community Services Drop-In Clinics have been set up across four practices in the Felixstowe Area:- Grove Medical Centre, Walton Surgery, Howard House Surgery and Haven Health GP Practice. Patients can call their practice to book in to see a Social Worker to discuss their situation and a range of issues including:- Help with accessing care and support where appropriate.
- Advice on a range of topics, for example – financial advice about the costs of care.
- Information about organisations that could give you the advice and support you need.
- Multi-Agency meetings held in a number of settings
Suffolk Community Health and Adult Community Services are working together to make sure that where appropriate, multi-agency meetings are held at the most convenient place for the people needing support. Often, professionals meet together with the family within their home to work with them to identify all their needs and to work out a joint plan on how to offer the best support to meet those needs.
One of the aims of Connect is to help people be aware of what support is available in their local community to help them and their families lead a healthy and active life.
