Core20Plus5

The Core20Plus5 approach connectors programme is part of the NHS goal to tackle healthcare inequalities. We aim to support communities to remove barriers that prevent access to health and wellbeing services.

• To build trust and create opportunities for Community Connectors to be the voice for their communities.

• To help shape service provision that better meets the needs of those communities.

The main focus is on communities who are not accessing the range of services available to help them maintain their health and wellbeing.

Key Areas of Focus

• Chronic Respiratory Disease

  A clear focus on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), flu and pneumonia

• Maternity

  Ensuring continuity of care for women from Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities and from the most deprived groups. 

• Hypertension Case-Finding

  To allow for interventions to optimise blood pressure and minimise the risk of heart attack and stroke.

• Early Cancer Diagnosis

  75% of cases diagnosed at Stage 1. Ensure we are raising awareness for programmes and talk sessions with professionals who specialise in this area.

• Severe Mental Illness

  Ensuring annual health checks for those living with SMI
