Our approach
Our work is founded on the principles of the NHS Enhanced Health in Care Homes initiative. We aim to visit all new admissions to care homes to discuss healthcare needs and complete a proactive Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment.
Rushcliffe PCN service
Care Homes Team
A multidisciplinary team providing proactive, personalised healthcare for care home residents.
We are a multidisciplinary healthcare team of nurses, pharmacists, therapists, a dietician and care co-ordinators. We work closely with the Care Home GP lead for Rushcliffe, Dr Rachel Shaw, on behalf of the GP surgeries that cover care homes within Rushcliffe PCN, and link in with the wider network of community health and social care services.
Personalised care
Working with residents, their families and care home staff, we support the development of an Individualised Personal Healthcare and Support Plan. We can signpost and refer to health and social care services, and where appropriate support discussions around Advance Care Planning and the ReSPECT process.
