Over 1,000 people were referred to self-care services in 2019/20. Here are case studies from some of those referrals highlighting the impact for local people.
Case Study 1 - Age UK Dementia Support Mrs P 93 years old
Mrs P enjoyed weekly visits from the Age UK Dementia Support service.
Health and social care services in North and West London are building positive new models of cross-sector working to make better use of joined-up resources. The Self-Care social prescribing model has led to reduced avoidable need for hospitalisations, reduced need for GP practice hours, and reduced levels of physical pain and depression for patients.
