Job description
Job responsibilities
Haringey
GP Federation is supporting member practices across the borough with the
management of patients on diverse range of conditions, including long-term
conditions, respiratory diagnostic testing (Spirometry) and physical health checks
for patients on the Learning disabilities and Severe Mental Health (SMI)
Register. The Integrated Services is a vibrant and highly committed team which
provides high-quality clinical Interventions, medicine management, physical
health checks and care planning for Haringey registered patients.
There is growing evidence of ethnic inequalities in health care,
particularly in relation to access to services. It is believed that 20% of
health inequalities relate directly to health service provision and there is
more we can do to prevent or delay ill health and treat people quicker. There
is also evidence that some ethnic minority communities are more
disproportionately affected by long-term conditions than others.
The Integrated Services
are one of the Haringey GP Federation largest running group of services, bridging
the gap between primary care, secondary care, and the voluntary sector. The
Integrated Services aim to deliver on key national and local strategies to
reduce unwarranted variation, by working with specific cohort of patients to
achieve better health outcomes.
