Other Partnership Working
Lorn Medical Centre:
On a weekly basis we take part in multidisciplinary meetings with the local Medical Centre where referrals onto our Reablement Pathway are discussed and agreed.
Physiotherapy Department - Lorn & Islands District General Hospital:
Since 2016 we have been working in partnership with the Physiotherapy Department at the local hospital, predominantly for frailer members of the community who were at risk of requiring care packages or at risk of requiring admission to hospital (see orange band on the Oban Living Well model above). We are now developing a new level of partnership working to cover clients requiring re-hab or pre-hab and those with neurological conditions.
We sit on the Living Well Strategy subgroups within HSCP (NHS’ Health and Social Care Partnerships) and third sector organisations such as LIVE Argyll, Versus Arthritis, Third Sector Interface, North Argyll Carers Centre and the MS Centre in mid Argyll.
In addition to this we have ever-growing referral and prescription relationships with many public, private and third sector organisations throughout the Lorn area.
