Can you help Medway NHS Foundation Trust and Medway Community Healthcare improve their #research services? We looked at the ethnicities of those who took part in research in Medway and compared this to the ethnicities of Medway residents. We found most of the people who come forward to take part in our research are of white ethnicities and for all other ethnicities the numbers are low. We know that some ethnic groups are more likely to get certain health conditions. If those more at risk of conditions are not taking part in research, how do we know the research results will be right for the whole community? We want your opinions on how we can improve access to research for all.

Why is there a lack of coherence in building America's City for Health for which Trust is an essential component. There is a perception that America's City for Health is a simply a marketing ploy to attract economic development and "out of towners". See this presentation in the Nov. 2021 DMC Board meeting. There has been tepid effort to activate and mobilize it as a model city for health and wellness for all (residents and patients). Hopefully, Olmsted County's CHNA process with its adoption of Collective Impact could see itself to be the backbone of fulfilling the vision. Lack of Trust due to historical reasons and societal environmental conditions: Even if we should build a better healthcare system in terms of accessibility or cost coverages (which we know we have a lot of work to do here), the historical trauma is not sufficiently addressed and is worsened by polarizations, disinformation, social isolations, etc. Transparency: There is a need for better communication for the public to appreciate and take a measure of what Olmsted County Community Council is doing regarding its implementation of Joint Studies of Race and Racism Impacts on Health.

Providing Integrated Care: A Crucial Approach for Domiciliary Care.. Please watch this video. It highlights an important issue: many people in the community, like Sam, have health-related issues but prefer to remain in their own homes while accessing care. This desire underscores the need for integrated care, which helps support individuals' wishes and provides numerous benefits. When setting up new care companies, such as domiciliary care services, offering person-centred care and providing quality, specialized training is imperative. This approach is essential not only for the well-being of those in need but also for the growth and sustainability of your business. By focusing on person-centred care, you help prevent hospital admissions and ensure that your clients receive the best possible support in the comfort of their homes. Moreover, as the demand for social care increases, particularly with people living longer and having more complex needs, it's crucial to ensure that your business model and plan are aligned with the future of social care. This alignment will support the sustainability of your business and help meet the growing needs of the community. Make sure your business is prepared for the future. If you're unsure how to proceed, let Team Care help you create a business model that addresses social impacts and improves sustainability. By doing so, you'll be contributing to a more robust and effective care system that benefits everyone involved.
