Care Co-ordinators

What are Care Co-ordinators?

The Rushcliffe PCN care co-ordinators provide support to patients and practices across Rushcliffe.

There have been care co-ordinators embedded across services such as care homes team and social prescribing for some time, but we are aiming to grow this team to support more services and the practices further.

What do Care Co-ordinators do?

They take part in patient searches and data gathering on e-Healthscope and SystemOne to identify specific people cohorts, eg those with high blood pressure who are not on the hypertension register. They also help contact and organise patient appointments for these newly identified cohorts.

They support with key initiatives such as the Impact and Investment Fund (IIF) and the anticipatory care ICB programme. These tasks help Rushcliffe practices to meet the needs of patients and specific requirements from NHS England.

They help run the COVID vaccination programme: ordering and distribution of vaccine, contacting and booking patients in for appointments, running the clinics and keeping our population safe.

They support the improving access and extended access services: supporting staff with IT set up, rota management and clinic co-ordination.

They are also supporting new service developments such as spirometry and the mental health practitioner service, booking patients into clinics, ensuring they have the appropriate work leading up to appointments, and supporting some of the report functions needed in the PCN to provide assurances to practices, the ICB and NHS England.

Care co-ordinators are involved in a variety of PCN projects and NHS initiatives, all supporting improved care for Rushcliffe patients. Their role is varied and flexible. They work for PartnersHealth, on behalf of the Rushcliffe GPs as part of the PCN.

Chrissy

Chrissy Pull - Care Coordinator

I started working in general practice on reception and in an administrator roles in 2016

I learnt a lot from this and wanted a new challenge in order to explore what skills I can use.

I find myself a people person and will go out my way to help and guide them in the best possible way.

Alongside this I also have my own business in the Hair & Beauty industry, I think this compliments this role as I meet new people everyday and can approach with care and compassion.

I am a practice-based Care Coordinator, supporting the three practices within Belvoir Health Group.

My main role is to manage the patient recalls process for long term condition care and medication monitoring. The aim of my role is to help ensure all patients are receiving the specific reviews they need for their health conditions, and that their medications are being safely prescribed. I work closely with all the different teams within Belvoir Health Group, which is essential for solving challenges that arise – but I enjoy that no two days are ever the same!

Connie Au-Yeung - Care Coordinator

I'm glad to start my career in Healthcare with PartnersHealth as a care co-ordinator in July 2023. Stationed in Ruddington Medical Centre, I work on recalls for patients in need of long time condition monitoring and other medical surveillance. I also assist to send out referrals for patients who are deemed necessary to undergo further treatments in secondary care or other community service providers. I love this job by not only its nature aiming to enhance people’s health and lifestyle but also the opportunity to meet the enthusiastic, thoughtful and knowledgeable co-workers
