5 Boroughs Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Annual ... - Monitor

We are actively involved in Learning Disability Partnership Boards - working
with people who have a learning disability, their families and carers to ensure
that their health needs continue to be supported in community settings.
Commissioning bodies serving the population of Halton, St Helens,
Warrington and Knowsley (4 Boroughs Commissioning Alliance) presented
their commissioning intentions - a ‘New Model of Care’ for adults with
Learning Disabilities - to the Trust in November 2009. The proposal was to
redesign the services delivered by the Trust to enable those in the community
to be supported for as long as possible in their homes.
Forensic Services
We provide care and treatment in secure settings for those people who are
assessed as not being best cared for in an open environment. Such service
users often have multiple and complex care needs. We provide low-secure
services in two separate male and female units at Hollins Park, Warrington for
adults with mental ill-health, a low secure step-down unit for those ready to
move back into community settings and one unit for people with a learning
disability.
Knowsley Integrated Provider Services
Integrated Locality Services are provided across Knowsley and include
District Nurses, Social Care and Home Care. The teams work together to
support people with longer-term and complex conditions to enable selfmanagement
through to crisis intervention.
Targeted Services are delivered to people for a fixed period of
intervention and provide short-term, one-off support including crisis
intervention. They focus on curative care or co-ordinated support for
specific long-term conditions.
Acute and Rehab Services provide interventions for people who need
short-term support and rehabilitation. They aim to prevent unnecessary
hospital admissions; enhance recovery whilst in hospital and facilitate
timely discharge into the community. These services ensure people are
enabled to remain independent in their own home or as close to home
as possible and incorporate therapeutic interventions to improve a wide
range of health conditions such as musculo-skeletal and
rheumatological problems.
Children’s Services are delivered in two ways. Universal services
concentrate on improving children’s health from birth to 19 – taking a
preventative public health approach to tackle the causes of ill-health
and reduce inequalities. Children’s services are also delivered in a
targeted manner - providing a holistic approach to service delivery and
management of children with complex health needs by providing
support, advice and effective therapeutic interventions.
