Keeping Well in Communities Building Health Partnerships: self-care @IVAR_UK @SocialEnt_UK #BHPselfcare

About Building Health Partnerships (BHP) Designed to support local partners in health and care in delivering STPs by focusing on: strong engagement with the voluntary community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector and citizens activities and actions that promote wellbeing and self-care in the local community @SocialEnt_UK @IVAR_UK #BHPselfcare

Why we are here today To explore ways to utilise community asset based and social prescribing approaches to address some key (costly) health problems, prevent ill health and promote wellbeing, and to see this better reflected in commissioning approaches and Sustainability & Transformation Plans across the North East. @SocialEnt_UK @IVAR_UK #BHPselfcare @SocialEnt_UK @IVAR_UK #BHPselfcare

Shared understanding of local priorities from last time Whole place approaches to address problems such as employability (recognising all contributions) Self-care training and workforce issues Use of technology and apps to support access to community assets How the money flows through the system to support self-care and how we can improve this Contracting arrangements including barriers to engaging the voluntary & community sector, what we measure and who this matters to @SocialEnt_UK @IVAR_UK #BHPselfcare @SocialEnt_UK @IVAR_UK #BHPselfcare

NHS England Commitment: “ We will work collaboratively with the voluntary sector and primary care to design a common approach to self-care and social prescribing, including how to make it systematic and equitable” (p.45 Next Steps for the Five Year Forward View)

What messages are coming from NHSE We’re building a ‘social prescribing movement’ across the NHS – great energy and potential to help make the NHS sustainable It requires an asset-based approach – what do we already have in our community that we can build on? ‘Link worker’ connector model is key – they have time to find out what really matters to people and connect them with community support Build it together, all partners in a local area are important Can’t expect the voluntary sector to do everything for free!

Nationally what do we know ? We know that: Nearly half of all Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) are investing in social prescribing ‘Community navigator/link worker’ programmes. Social prescribing is included in 75% of Sustainable Transformation Plans (STPs). 1in 5 GPs regularly refer patients to social prescribing. 40% would refer if they had more information about available services (July 2017, GP Online Survey). In South Yorks & Bassetlaw STP area all GPs are able to refer to social prescribing ‘community navigator/link workers’

Catherine Parker, Public Health England Indications of need: Anti-depressant prescribing across the North East and Cumbria STP footprints @SocialEnt_UK @IVAR_UK #BHPselfcare

What's happening nationally The local picture Looking at some related indicators Looking at our assets

National picture The number of antidepressants prescribed in England has risen sevenfold in the last 25 years according to one study of NHS England Data Driving the increase; Increase in need driven by social factors? More people coming forward, increased awareness, reduced stigma? Doctor and employer recognition? Access to (or lack of) psychological therapies?

North East and Cumbria STP footprints- anti depressant prescribing

Indices of Multiple Deprivation

Access to psychological therapies Access to IAPT services: people entering IAPT services (monthly) as % of those estimated to have anxiety/depression (based on GP practice code)

And what about our assets?

Thoughts….. Difficult to draw any firm conclusions from a very brief look at a small number of indicators BUT Prescribing levels are high for anti-depressants in our area There are some (but not consistent) correlations with deprivation Associated costs mean even marginal improvement could potential result in real savings Access to therapies is comparatively good Evidence tells us that social connectedness and tackling isolation as well as medication and therapies are significant enablers for mental health improvement

What does the problem look like? What's driving the increase in your communities? How might it be tackled collaboratively (and differently)? @SocialEnt_UK @IVAR_UK #BHPselfcare

Making it stick What are the big things we need to do next to make the change/tackle this problem? @SocialEnt_UK @IVAR_UK #BHPselfcare
