by Jessica Ellis is a Chewie. It does not come from a distant galaxy, but here, at the moment and works in one of our most disadvantaged communities. For the people she helps, it is a strength for good.
We stand in front of a large block of Ratflats in Westminster, Central -London. The Entrycom buys.
“Hello Mrs. Dikir, how are you?” Jessica asks. And then “thank you” as we let in and make five steps up.
In the apartment, in the living room, Mr. Jaber Dikir sits on a soft, plush armchair. It has to be comfortable because Mr. Dikir spends most of his days here.
“I have a heart problem, I have surgery with an open heart and now I have heart failure,” explains Mr. Dikir. “I have water in my chest and that causes me a big problem to sleep, breathe,” he adds when he begins to gasp.
I ask Mr. Jaber how Jessica could help him.
“She hears you, she listens to you,” he replies. “She understands everything. She even called the doctor and he gave me permission to stay at home (for my blood tests). That is very appreciated. I couldn’t go properly, I couldn’t go to the clinic.”
Jessica is a health and well-being of the community (CHWWS). The nickname comes there.
CHWWS work in small teams and go from door to door in some of the most disadvantaged areas in the country.
It is part of an NHS pilot inspired by a successful program in Brazil.
A simple but effective intervention
Jessica says that her role is “relieved life”. Mr. Dakir, she tells me, fights with his mobility. A designated disabled bay also organizes.
“Mr. Dakir fights to get to his appointments, and the family doctor needs a blood test from him. So I was able to speak to the family doctor and he was described as temporarily homely so that the district of Nursing team can now come in and take blood for him at home.”
A simple but effective intervention that has an enormous influence on Mr. DAKKIR and NHS.
The project is currently being used in 15 districts across the country. In Westminster there was a decline in A&E registrations by 7% and a reduction in hospital admissions by year to year.
The likelihood of households with vaccinations, an increase in cancer screening and a decline in the unscheduled GP consultations has also increased by 47% by 47%.
Make the community provision directly to the patient’s door
Dr. Melinda Creme is a local GP. Jessica acts as a channel between Dr. Cream and their patients.
“We have to examine the costs for what could happen at the distance if the disease is not recorded earlier if health inequalities are not addressed earlier, and there should therefore be potential large savings across the board.
“It could take five years, 10 years to make a difference, and that is the problem, since governments are obviously changing during this time.
“But if there is a long -term lens, we have the chance to be able to afford a healthcare service that can be free at the time of delivery.”
This is exactly what the government wants what the NHS wants to bring care to the community. With this project you take over the community provision directly to the patient’s door.
Dr. Creme says that the days when people went to their family doctor and expect their family doctor take care of everyone and everyone is gone.
“We can do this impossible. We are not prepared for it because the population is expanding and we cannot meet all needs.”
Labor’s 10-year health plan was set for the start
The government is expected to concentrate on personalized and community care in her 10-year health plan when it is released on Thursday.
It will try to reduce the pressure on the kink of emergency departments, and such models have shown early signs of good results, but they require time and investment.
Projects like this can help reduce the services that are exposed to the record print and the tight budgets. You could be an integral part of a wider NHS plan.
