Esk Valley Community Engagement
In February-March 2012, the community asked for:
• Improved community transport;
• More support for Carers including respite care;
• Localised services;
• Better use of Thomas Hope Hospital;
• Use of technology to provide services closer to home;
• Increased access to low level support services;
• Some of the above has also been highlighted in the Langholm Initiative & CADISPA report.
Examples of Recent Developments • Technology Solutions - Video Conferencing facility
and Office Communications Systems (OCS) installed in Thomas Hope Hospital. Multi-site OCS telemedicine clinics are being developed to enable follow on appointments with some clinical services without patients/clinicians having to travel.
• Local Carers Strategy Launch.
• Carers Self Assessment Test of Change.
• Langholm Initiative & CADISPA Community Appraisal and 5 year Action Plan.
• Social Worker and Mental Health Support presence in THH.
• Various meetings with local partners/community members working together to develop Person Centred/Needs led solutions to local issues such as identifying solutions to local transport issues.
• Community Volunteers identified for further involvement through Community Engagement Team.
