Boosting reablement for people living with frailty in the Western Isles
Project Background
The Western Isles Integration Joint Board is a Strategic Commissioning Board who commission services with NHS Western Isles, Comhairle Nan Eilean Siar and Third Sector partners.
We have a committed multidisciplinary workforce supported by high-quality clinical leadership who have advanced our intermediate care services during the last five years. We are also supported by an excellent Public Health Intelligence Team. We want to use a co-production approach to explore how to build on our current service model to implement proactive reablement focused care for older people with frailty who use or are at risk of using intermediate care services.

Patricia Clapham
Hello, I am Scottish and based in Scotland. I started working in the private sector before moving into the public sector. The majority of my career was spent within a local Health and Social Care Partnership. I then moved fields transitioning into process improvement and then finally to change management.
I am delighted to be back in the field of health and social care working with IMPACT on a project close to my values “Boosting reablement within intermediate care as part of a ‘home first’ place-based approach for people living with frailty” in the Western Isles.
