This work is made up of three interconnected strands which are being implemented together: 1. Risk profiling: Identifying people who are more likely to need hospital or long-term care in the future, so we can target them with more intensive support at an earlier stage, to reduce this risk. 2. Health and adult social care teams working more closely together: GP practices, community health and social care staff working together in a more co-ordinated way to reduce the number of different professionals an individual needs to see, and create a more streamlined approach, both for people using services and those who provide them. 3. Self-care – a joint approach to helping people help themselves: Staff, people who use services, their families/carers and community organisations working in an equal partnership to make sure people have the right tools and information to better manage their condition and live as independently as possible.
