The future of general practice - Integrated care and policy entrepreneurs

摘要

It is 11:30 am and you've just finished morning surgery. The patient with financial worries and her child are playing on your mind. You'd asked if you could seek advice on how to help her, so you walk upstairs to talk to Emma from the Early Help Advice Hub. You've found that she's been a great source of information and discuss the impact of the patient's financial trouble on her ability to care for her child. Ten minutes later it is agreed that the threshold for a social care referral isn't quite met, therefore an Early Help Assessment is appropriate. You call the patient later that day to gain consent and action the referral.
