Systems Model (Modification of Thomas, 1988)

Changing demographics Working together we can achieve more

and have greater success We want to ensure services are fit for

purpose To make sure that services are ‘Right’

Why do this?

Community support can reduce institutional care Inadequate care will put people at risk of ill

health, isolation and stigma There is increasing evidence that chronic illness

is strongly related to networks and communities. Well-being is particularly dependent upon relationships (Foot & Hopkins, 2010)

What difference can the community really make?

Our Asset Map Build a greater sense of community

locally Support an appreciation of older adult

needs Shared responsibility? Consider hidden/vulnerable groups We need a shared strategy!

What can we do to help?

Asset Map

What is happening already? Are we using good practice to best

effect? Collaborative working Do our networks make best use of our

assets?

Understanding the current picture

What do we mean by outcomes? A definition:‘impact, effect or consequence of help received’ (Nicholas et al., 2003). How do outcomes effect our work? What is the impact of what we do and what is

the effect of our actions?
