Dedicated triage service for complex patients

Description

The dedicated triage service for people living with or facing health inequalities or complex needs is an integral component of the Community Based model across IES aiming to reduce health inequalities.  It focuses on prevention and enables our communities to support and promote health and wellbeing for specific Core20Plus5 identified priorities - hypertension and chronic respiratory diseases.  This is a two year programme, joining up a range of community, primary care, secondary care and VCFSE prevention programmes into a Community Based Approach focusing on improving diagnosis rates of hypertension to reduce cardiac events, raising awareness of mitigations for modifiable behaviours and risk factors, offering a range of non-medical interventions based on referral model from primary care, secondary care, INTs and wider Community Champions and anchor institutions.
