CORE20Plus5

Core20PLUS5 is a national NHS England approach to inform action to reduce healthcare inequalities at both national and system level. The approach defines a target population – the ‘Core20PLUS’ – and identifies ‘5’ focus clinical areas requiring accelerated improvement.
 

The approach, which initially focussed on healthcare inequalities experienced by adults, has now been adapted to apply to children and young people.

​

​

Eastmoor Community Project and St Mary’s Community Centre in partnership with Live Well Wakefield deliver a CORE20PLUS5 Social Prescribing project to adult residents of Wakefield district.

 

The project supports local residents to improve their health and wellbeing and reduce health inequalities across the Wakefield District.

Many adults are impacted by social barriers and non-medical needs that impact their ability to take up and attend health care appointments, and adhere to health care plans, with leads to poor health outcomes.

 

A team of our volunteers are going to support clients to attend their local health care appointments overcoming social barriers such as independent travel skills, health literacy and social anxiety.

The team hopefully will not only support clients to attend their appointments but also improve the clients’ overall health and wellbeing, and reducing social barriers.

 

Also we have weekly drop in sessions at St Swithun's Community Centre every Thursday between 11am -1pm to find out more about the project. Ask for Julia

 

If you could use your contacts and share the information that would be great. If you have a client who would benefit from this project, please contact Live Well Wakefield or one of the community centres.
