Hammersmith and Fulham’s Integrated Care Programme is working to improve health and well-being outcomes for local people by integrating care around individuals’ needs. When we talk about integrating care, we mean that a group of existing, local organisations need to work more closely together to improve the health and wellbeing of people living in H&F. To achieve this, we need to:

  1. Look at what we know and what people have already told us, because improvements must be based on understanding what local people need.
  2. Work together to develop and achieve the results that really matter to local people and help them to lead healthy lives.

We would like to invite you to a workshop focusing specifically on health and well-being priorities for older people. We would be most grateful if you could circulate this invitation to relevant patient and public networks and/or friends. We are seeking attendees who are older people with lived experience of using NHS services, and/or their carers.

Our causes, mission and beneficiaries vary, however the way in which we operate as charities has much in common. We’ve got a mix of resources to help you improve the core functions that underpin working in the charity sector.

Each day, tens of thousands of volunteers help charities to deliver their services. The Awards is one of the ways the Mayor recognises some of those volunteers who go above and beyond to create better local communities.

Last year, Hammersmith & Fulham council ran an emergency response ‘hackathon’ with local community organisations, where we came together to see how we could help each other in an emergency. On the day, it was decided we needed a space online to work together in the event of an emergency, and also that we should set up a training day to show more about what we do. With this in mind we have set up a Community Resilience Event on Saturday 7th July from 10am to 2pm (including lunch) at Hammersmith Town Hall and we would love you to join us.

The Community Resilience Event will include showing how we provide for displaced residents in a fully operational rest centre, how our extensive CCTV network assists in managing incidents, and seeing some of the command and control vehicles from the frontline services we work alongside.  There will be a presentation to attendees for them to learn more about what we do, as well as professionals in attendance to answer questions.  There will also be an opportunity to sign up for specific further training such to train your staff/volunteers as rest centre officers. To book your place on this event (2 places per organisation are available), please email camilla.mcbrearty@lbhf.gov.uk or call 07748 932 584 for more details. Once we have your interest, I will send the official invitation with more info.

In addition, we’ve built and launched a ground-breaking new community emergency response website!  The “extranet” allows us to include chosen partners in a website designed to help us work together in an emergency to achieve the best outcomes for our community, therefore strengthening our community resilience.  It’s also a place where we can communicate with each other and share vital information before, during and after an emergency event. If you would like to be a member of this website, please email camilla.mcbrearty@lbhf.gov.uk so that you can be added.

The last POPS meeting had an interesting presentation from the Frequent Attenders Project, which works with a small cohort of people with multiple and complex issues, including mental health needs, who are frequent attenders at local hospitals and A&E.  The service has achieved a 70% reduction of hospital presentations, through a wide ranging support service, which supports clients with physical and mental health management, and addresses a wide range of other issues including housing, social care, welfare benefits and isolation. To read on, click here.

The next POPS forum will be held on Monday 18th June at Bishop Creighton House, 10am – 12pm
