The Integrated Care Service
Most GP practices across the county have an Integrated Care Co-ordinator who is there to help make sure you receive the right support, at the right time, to remain independent and well.
Once you have been referred by your GP to the service, a Care Co-ordinator will contact you directly to discuss what matters most for your health and wellbeing and how they can help you manage daily life and stay independent for longer.
They will work with the health professionals, other partners and voluntary organisations involved in your care and can arrange referrals, equipment, or support on your behalf.
Access to the service
If you are an older adult living independently at home, have complex or long-term health conditions or feel that you would benefit from extra support, speak to your GP and ask if you can be referred to the Integrated Care Service.
