June 2024: Neighbourhood Care in Rotherham
- 1. Neighbourhood Care in Rotherham Ben Anderson, Director of Public Health 14th June 2024
- 2. Overview • Introducing our Thriving Neighbourhoods Strategy • Place-based working and strengths-based approaches • How this works in practice
- 3. Thriving Neighbourhoods Strategy • The strategy was approved in 2018 and refreshed in 2022 • Our vision: ‘every neighbourhood in Rotherham to be a thriving neighbourhood, where people are able to work together to achieve a good quality of life’; ‘ensuring communities are at the heart of everything we do to make people feel happy, safe and proud.’
- 4. Neighbourhood working model • 25 wards since May 2021 • 59 elected members with ward budgets • Supported by the neighbourhoods team • Sit within three localities (North, South and Central) • Range of services and partners aligned e.g. neighbourhoods, housing, social care, street scene, South Yorkshire Police, commissioned services
- 5. Ways of working Place-based working: Partners work together within a neighbourhood to: • Co-produce services, activities and solutions to tackle locally identified issues (e.g. ward plans). • Improve and integrate service- delivery. • Co-design physical amenities. • Maximise local community assets. • Bring communities together and inspire hope and pride in Rotherham. Strengths-based approaches • Focusing on what people and communities have and how they can work together. • Drawing on people’s skills, knowledge and experience to improve things locally instead of looking at what a community needs or lacks.
- 7. How this works in practice
- 8. Setting ward priorities • Ward plans are produced annually • Include locally identified priorities informed by: – Ward data (e.g. small geographies section of the JSNA) – Input from services and partners – Community intelligence/consultation and engagement • Provide the basis of the allocation of resources (including ward budgets) • Inform decisions on planning and strategy, including the Council Plan
- 9. Engagement in Maltby and Dinnington • Survey of 2000 GP patients with LTCs in Maltby & Dinnington • Over 50% response rate! Poor Mental Health Always/ Often Sometimes Rarely/ Never Top five LTCs reported: • Hypertension • Anxiety • Asthma • Depression • Chronic Pain Main findings: • Over half found it difficult to access healthcare • Over a quarter were unsure how to manage their LTC • Family and outdoor activities helped most • Pain was cited as the most important barrier to feeling healthy • Dealing with pain was cited as the most common single-issue respondents most wanted to address
- 10. Working with people in Maltby and Dinnington • Access to services is difficult and digital solutions are not always acceptable. • Community assets (physical and social) play a key role in supporting health • Exercise, especially outdoor activity is seen as highly desirable and very likely to have positive impacts on health, but investment in local infrastructure is needed • Generally, high opinion of organised health and care services and health professionals contacted, but with a few specific gaps around continuity or depth of care for complex or fluctuating conditions
- 11. Root ‘N’ Grow • Led by Rother Valley South PCN in collaboration with the local community, making use of a plot of green space within Dinnington • Early stages, but the project is focussed on creating a green space for the community to use and develop, including: – Supporting a Nurture/Nature Group – Developing junior allotments for children and young people to utilise – Bringing local people together through a tea and chat once a week • Exploring opportunities for collaboration across PCNs (i.e., with Maltby and Wickersley)
- 12. Peer support: menopause cafes • Menopause cafes led by the libraries service • Run once per month • Aim to break down stigma • Open to people experiencing the menopause, as well as friends and family “A menopause Café is not a lecture; it’s just a very informal gathering for anyone who wants to share their stories about how menopause is affecting them or their families. Talking and sharing with others who will understand and empathise is a great way of helping with health and wellbeing. All are welcome and refreshments will be available!”
- 13. Family Hubs We are working with Neighbourhoods Teams, Ward Councillors, VCS, Partners to identify more organisations to join the Family Hub network
- 14. Community connectors • Based within Adult Social Care • Structured around the North/South/Central footprint • The role of the community connectors is broad and includes: – Signposting customers to preventative support, community assets and regional and national services – Community engagement work to develop sessions on topics such as health, wellbeing, exercise, advice and information and peer support – Facilitating communities to come together e.g., Homestead Luncheon Social group for people aged 50+ (memory friendly) • Role being realigned into first contact to focus on preventative engagement at the earliest opportunity
- 15. GISMO and RotherHive • GISMO is overseen by Voluntary Action Rotherham • Information on local voluntary community groups and services • https://rotherhamgismo.org.uk/ • RotherHive is overseen by the ICB • Advice and self-help information on different topics, as well as details around local and national services • https://rotherhive.co.uk/ • Both support signposting in Rotherham
- 16. Summary • Rotherham’s neighbourhood model is ‘real’ and well-embedded – these are just a few examples • Our best work is done in partnership – between organisations and communities • To make the biggest difference, we need to come from the position of understanding neighbourhoods’ strengths and needs • We are proud to work in Rotherham • There’s still more we can do
