description

A contract has been awarded for a period of 2-years to The British Red Cross Society to provide a High Intensity Use Service ("Supporting You") on behalf on NHS Herefordshire & Worcestershire Integrated Care Board. The contract commenced on 28th March 2023 for a period of 2-years. The service will cover the county of Worcestershire and is a 2-year pilot, funded by Worcestershire Public Health, to provide personalised support to those accessing urgent and emergency services more frequently than expected.

The service will:

Coach and support frequent users of urgent and emergency care services within the Worcestershire footprint, working in a de-medicalised, de-criminalised and person-centred way;
Understand and address the unmet needs of people who access care more than expected
Lower the stigma associated with high intensity use and create a positive culture
Effectively connect with, listen to and coordinate support for people that frequent use A&E/WMAS in Worcestershire
Provide a service driven by quality and demonstrate person-centred approach
Assist other providers to identify patterns and 'causal factors' which trigger relapse behaviours in former HIU to shape future commissioning of service and/or demand/capacity planning.
Establish connections with existing health and care services to find a new way forward for individuals, working in partnership with them
Provide an integrated approach to supporting people with HIU of urgent and emergency services working in parallel with health and care services.

As a by-product of this person-centred work, there will also be a reduction in demand of urgent and emergency care services (including A&E, non-elective admissions, and calls to NHS 111 and 999).

Following a review of the 2-year pilot, the commissioning authority will consider appropriate options, and may consider a procurement exercise for the continuation of the service.
