New Models of Care: prevention and early intervention event

There is a significant amount of activity across the South West focussed on or around GP surgeries. This event will explore the common ground and interdependency between social prescribing, GP workforce planning, patient safety, community development and integrated working across organisations. We believe that there could be transformative potential in these activities being aligned at a local level to; build resilient communities, reduce poor health outcomes and reduce the pressure and burden on GPs. Supporting this is technology and digital pathways alongside new finance and funding models.

The South West Academic Health Science Network (SW AHSN) finds itself in a privileged position to be at the centre of similar discussions and we therefore wish to use this position to bring people together.

This event is an opportunity to share and learn from existing practice across the South West and further afield.

This will not be an ordinary event. We intend to run it as a drop–in session between 14:00 and 19:00 on the 18 July 2017 in Exeter. We will be using innovative means to facilitate and structure the networking and learning opportunity so you get the best value for your time.

We will be organising sharing opportunities via social media prior and during the event to give delegates the opportunity to ask questions and create discussions. The session will then help to shape communities of practice so you are able to take the learning and continue to expand and develop this in your organisations or practices.
