Accelerated Cluster Model & Social Prescribing

Cardiff, Vale of Glamorgan

One of our Transformation Fund projects has allowed a group of GP practices in the South West Cluster in Cardiff to develop new ways of working.

The key developments for the cluster have been:

Pioneering a new social prescribing platform.

To support people better on discharge from hospital

Improving links to independent living services through a multi-disciplinary approach

WHILST DELIVERY WAS HAMPERED BY COVID-19, WORK CONTINUED TO IMPROVED OUTCOMES FOR LOCAL CITIZENS:

GPs referred 277 patients through the social prescribing platform (alternative to traditional approaches) for assistance and support.

Community-based, multi-disciplinary teams discussed 231 individual patients.

4,740 patients were contacted to offer support and signposting.

Intermediate Care

Both ICF and Transformation Funds support a range of intermediate care services that provide citizens with the care they require as close to their own home as possible. Local citizens can be admitted from home (step-up), or from one of the larger hospitals (step down).

Cardiff and Vale Regional Innovation Coordination Hub have joined up with the Fathom Trust’s Making Well Project to explore the benefits Green Prescribing can have to people’s health and wellbeing.

As part of their investment in social prescribing, the South West GP Cluster in Cardiff joined up with parkrun and the Royal College of General Practitioners to host their own parkrun Practice event, which aims to encourage people to be more active and take control of their wellbeing.

Grow Well is a community gardening project within the South West GP Cluster in Cardiff. We worked with them to showcase the benefits social prescribing can have on health and wellbeing.
