In this project, we are investigating the Trusted Assessor approach in health and social care systems. The objective is to demonstrate the value of Trusted Assessors in streamlining care needs assessment, while also addressing data protection and consent concerns. Case studies will be created from local regions that have implemented this approach, to provide insights into the benefits of Trusted Assessors of reducing delays in accessing required care.
Social Care Workforce Redesign in BNSSG: An Update from Coproduce Care (CIC)
We are pleased to announce our involvement in a new project researching how to improve social care. The Social Care Workforce Redesign project in BNSSG, is run by local care association Care and Support West and commissioned by Health Education England We will be contributing to local initiatives in Social Care Workforce Redesign, and we are excited to share the project with you.
This project is running from June 2023 to Summer 2024. We will be working on three areas for the next 10 months all in the BNSSG region which are as follows:
1: Trusted Assessors - Home from Hospital - Extending New Ways of Working
2: BNSSG Opportunities for Levy Sharing and Social Care Apprenticeships
This project aims to identify opportunities for levy sharing in social care and increase the use of apprenticeships. The project will engage social care providers, training organizations, authorities, and other stakeholders to develop strategies, guidelines, and an implementation plan for utilizing the levy effectively and increasing the use of apprenticeships.
3: Caring Together: Uniting Social Care and Health for Optimal Outcomes
In this project, we are evidencing the enhanced collaboration between social care providers, health services, and local authorities. By mapping existing interfaces and collaborations, we seek to identify opportunities for cross-system benefits and improved outcomes. Our research will provide valuable insights to guide decision-making processes.
