Video commissioned by West Sussex County Council.
We're multi-agency, multidisciplinary teams delivering a preventive service across West Sussex. The team includes health advisors (qualified health professionals); social care workers and support workers from the voluntary sector who can advise over the telephone or come and see you in your own home. Our objective is to improve quality of life and the promotion of health and wellbeing.
Our service is for adults and older people who might not be eligible for other statutory services and who have unmet physical, psychological, social, functional and/or environmental needs.
We provide information provision, education, advice and support, to enable independence and self-care, and undertake proactive interventions and problem solving. This reduces the risk of the need for reactive, more intrusive and costly interventions at a later date.
We also provide NHS health checks in outreach settings in the community as well as health promotion sessions to community groups across the county. See more details
