What our partners say<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

In Dorset most of us get good care when we can access it, but many aren\u2019t getting the care they need. More people are having to wait longer. More health and care staff are leaving, and it\u2019s difficult to recruit new people to fill the gaps. There\u2019s a greater need for adult social care, and we are struggling to keep up. Funding is also still an issue, and we\u2019ve been through a lot of political changes in recent years. These everyday pressures make it difficult to step back and plan for the longer term, but we need to do this if we want to make a difference for the people of Dorset in the future.<\/p>\n

Working together as a system can help people to live better lives. By making the best use of funding, and looking at who is best placed to deliver a service, we can make sure communities are getting the right care in the right place at the right time.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\u201cMeeting primary needs of having your home, your food, your warmth is getting harder and harder because, obviously,
\n<\/b>inflation is going up and people\u2019s wages haven\u2019t gone up for a very long time.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWork within teams where we have a complete multiagency partnership between health, social care, mental health,
\nbetween all agencies\u2026 How we work together would work better, in a way, like a jigsaw like that.
\nWe\u2019d have an understanding [of how people\u2019s] mental and physical needs work together, their housing needs,
\nhow everything fits in together.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

Councils have an important role to play in tackling issues linked to health inequality. They also have close connections with their communities.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Working together we can:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

    \n
  • strengthen community services for people living with long-term conditions<\/li>\n
  • improve support for mental health in the community and in schools<\/li>\n
  • improve support for carers<\/li>\n
  • use technology to support older people to stay living in their own homes<\/li>\n
  • provide care closer to home, away from hospitals<\/li>\n
  • tackle concerns early on before they become bigger problems<\/li>\n
  • tackle issues such as homelessness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

    \u201cWorking to support disadvantaged communities is a
    \nkey priority for BCP Council. Being part of the integrated
    \ncare system gives us the opportunity of working
    \ntogether at place level to tackle these inequalities in
    \nhealth outcomes, access, and experience. This strategy
    \noffers us the chance to accelerate this work across
    \nBournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>

    \u201cWorking better together gives us the opportunity

    \nwell, should be less about our individual organisations\u2019
    \npriorities, and more about planning care and support for
    \npeople to enable them to live independently for as long
    \nas possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>
