Improving Access to Services for Clients Experiencing Multiple Disadvantage & Co-occurring Conditions

  Free Preview

Backed by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID), this aneemo course has been created in partnership with the NHS’s Transformation Partners in Health and Care Co-Occurring Conditions Team to support cross-sector professionals in recognising and supporting the multiple and co-occurring needs of people who experience multiple disadvantage.

The comprehensive curriculum will benefit both frontline staff and system leaders across health, social care, voluntary sector and the criminal justice system. You will develop an understanding of the individual, service and system level barriers that exist for people with multiple needs accessing services; recognise the prevalence of trauma and working in a Trauma-Informed way; be given practical and creative approaches to assessment, engagement and support; and recognise the importance of gender informed service models and peer support. The content also covers the use of legislation such as The Care Act, Safeguarding, the Mental Capacity Act, The NICE guidance, Drug Strategy and NHS Long-Term Plan, and what a Trauma-informed Criminal Justice System can look like.

Ultimately you will be better able to help service users to overcome the barriers in the interface between physical health, mental health and substance misuse services.

Length: 4 modules, Duration: 40 mins per module
