NHS Trusts are working in partnership with Coventry City Council and the city’s Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) to transform Coventry’s services for older people so that they can lead independent lives in good health.
This work forms part of the Coventry Place programme bringing together partners from across the city to work together to meet the needs of our population and promote health and wellbeing.
Successful implementation will significantly improve outcomes for older people and their carers; empower staff across health and social care and reduce duplication of services.
In December 2021, an assessment by Newton Europe of current services, completed with teams in the organisations providing care and services to older people, identified improvements could be made. Key findings from this work are:
Now that we understand the problems with our current ways of working, and the areas to focus on for transformation, we are working with our teams on the changes we need to implement.
New ways of working will be tested during the next phase to make sure that everyone is ready and that we only commit to implementation where it will make a difference.
We will use this webpage to update on the progress being made so that our teams across the NHS and local authority can hear what’s happening to improve the lives of older people in Coventry.
