Health improvement through local

Other key partners that will help us to deliver our program of
health improvement in 2015/16 is the third sector
• Third Sector Grant Scheme – working with Leeds Community
Foundation, the purpose of the scheme is to support the
development of projects led by local community and voluntary
sector groups
• The aim of the project is to improve the health and wellbeing of
the population in South and East Leeds working with local
communities, and will:
Promote healthy lifestyle
choices to hard to reach
groups
Work with disadvantaged
communities
Support people with mental
health needs
Achieving a balance between good physical and
mental health
Achieving parity of esteem between physical and mental health is
a national and local priority

2015/16 we will be part of a citywide review on how our
community mental health services are provided in Leeds from
next year

Memory Support Workers in South and East Leeds, working

prescription service will review patients’ medicines at the point
of repeat prescription

commissioning a tool that allows us to collect patient
experience of all our commissioned servicers
Evidence based practice
Reduced waste
Improved patient outcomes,
quality of care and patient
safety
Providing care closer to home
• We want to provide more care closer to home and in the
community
• With an aging population, living with multiple long-term
conditions, care closer to home will support people to stay
healthy and live independently for longer
• Working with Leeds Involving People during 2015/16, we will be
consulting with our patients and the public in understanding
what services they would like to be able to access closer to
home
• Providing care closer to home will mean:
Seamless care; healthcare
professionals will work closer
together, to a single patient
care plan
Care and treatment will be
more accessible, focused on
the person as a whole
Reduced need to visit A&E
