Purpose

An evaluation of the proactive care programme is taking place in Leeds.   The evaluation aims to understand the perspective of patients and carers about proactive care in the Leeds area. Proactive care is a multi-agency approach to health and wellbeing that identifies and supports the needs of people and their carers before their health deteriorates significantly. It focuses on early identification and intervention to keep individuals well, independent and connected to their communities for as long as possible. Support is based around what matters to the person and aims to give people choice and control over the way their care is planned and delivered.

The evaluation of the proactive care programme will include interviews of patients, their carers and family members to ask about the quality of care they receive.  The interviews will be carried out by Leeds Older People’s Forum (LOPF) or that persons local neighbourhood network.   Local neighbourhood networks are established parts of the voluntary and community sector in Leeds, and they have been commissioned by Leeds Older People’s Forum to help support the evaluation work.
