HAC6120 Public Health Enhanced Services in Primary Care

Description

Tower Hamlets council aims to improve the health and wellbeing of residents. Public Health Enhanced Services delivered within primary care in Tower Hamlets are a key way to achieve this. These services encompass a range of health interventions aimed at improving population health outcomes, specifically targeting areas such as sexual and reproductive health, cardiometabolic disease prevention, and substance misuse. Tower Hamlets General Practitioners (GPs) have long-established provision of a range of Public Health enhanced services to address substance misuse, provide for sexual health and undertake NHS Health Checks. Locally these are called Network Improvement Services (NIS). These services are in addition to the GP core contract commissioned by NHS England. The enhanced services provided include: GP Sexual Health and Reproductive Services (SRH) NHS Health Checks (NHSHC) programme Primary Care Substance Misuse Services, including shared care for OST and screening and referral related to alcohol harms.

Primary care providers who are able to deliver some or all of the enhanced services meeting the needs of all eligible populations within Tower Hamlets. 2. Umbrella organisations and representative bodies for Primary Care, including federation(s), primary care networks, and other organisations such as Local Medical Committees and Local Pharmaceutical Committees. 3. Providers of data and information technology infrastructure within or relating to primary care. 4. Providers of management infrastructure that supports delivery of enhanced services within primary care. 5. Commissioners of related services. 6. Any other organisations who could contribute to the delivery of the Key Components listed above.
