What have we done to date?
We are a useful resource, which unfortunately many health professionals are unaware of It was heartening to see the interest on the faces of those present when we talked about what we do in the locality. This was an ideal opportunity to address a large group of professions to promote services provided by our organisation. Lot of enquiries on our services, lots of information given out, lots of questions asked and information given.
We received 40 requests from patients for additional support and information to help manage their condition. As a neurological alliance we are able provide information on a range of neurological conditions and signpost individuals to appropriate support for their condition. We have now provided all 40 patients with information, advice and details of local support groups that they can access. We have to date, provided appointments for 5 people for welfare benefit advice, 4 people accessed holistic therapy services in February and 4 other contacts were made in terms of follow up advice. A young man with depression and anxiety is now getting weekly support from a project volunteer - a fantastic result from my attendance at the practice.
We were able to spend time with the respiratory nurse, to highlight the services we offer and provide leaflets and information about the support group. The respiratory nurse has also agreed to promote the group to patients and include our details in the newsletter that is sent out to 300 COPD patients. 1 Mental Health Voluntary Organisation spoke to one of the Primary Care Mental Health Liaison Nurses at a GP Practice and has subsequently received 5 referrals to the project from the Primary Care Mental Health Liaison Nurse since. As a result of being at the Practice I have two Health Visitors making referrals to our early year s project.
As an organisation we really appreciate the opportunity to make people aware of our services. Particularly within a surgery, as service users may have recently been diagnosed with an illness that requires the support of adaptations, repairs etc to ensure they remain independent in their own homes. It s useful to have presence in GP surgeries and be promoting the third sector working alongside health. As a result of this pilot one of the Practices signed up as a member of the City of Sanctuary and has agreed to display our welcome stickers, hold information about volunteering and social support groups as well as signpost refugee and asylum seeking patients to specialist counselling services.
Both staff and patients found the pilot extremely worthwhile. By tailoring the times/dates of stands with specialist clinics that were running, this allowed us to capture those patients that would ideally benefit from help/support. An excellent project that I really hope will continue to run. In general, the display stands highlighted the individual organisations well and supporting materials were freely available, making the experience simple but constructive. The overall experience I believe adds value to participating practices for both patients and staff.
