Its aim is to develop the skills of parents of youngchildren with a focus on health care, nutritional improvement and overall child development. It is a parentsupport programme in which friendly local women known as Community Mothers carry out monthly structuredvisits to first-time and some second-time parents by appointment during the first two years of their babies’lives, providing empathy and information in a non-directive way to foster parenting skills and parental selfesteem.Through the Programme the parents become empowered to believe in their own capabilities andskills for parenting without being dependent on professionals. The Family Development Nurses who facilitatethe Programme have moved away from the biological model of health care which is working for people, to amodel which involves working with people. In fact the model is one of parent-enablement and empowermentwhich encourages parents to learn to cope with difficulties they encounter in bringing up their children and tofind their own solution to their problems.

This report forms part of a major new research study on women’s experiences in the workplace during and after pregnancy commissioned by the HSE Crisis Pregnancy Programme and the Equality Authority. In addition to this report, the research involved a literature review examining a range of literature on pregnancy at work (Russell & Banks, 2011) and a nationwide survey of 2,300 women who gave birth between July 2007 and June 2009 (Russell, Watson, Banks, forthcoming). The broad objective of the researchwas to investigate the influence of pregnancy and childbirth on women’s employment experiences, including anassessment of pregnancy-related discrimination in Ireland, and how these experiences are shaped by organisationalfactors and women’s attitudes and characteristics.

It tells the story of the development of a dynamic and intensivemodel of multidisciplinary teamworking in an urban area of concentrateddeprivation. It outlines the major challenges faced by the developing teamsuch as staff ceilings, the delay in opening the new health centre and thedisruption in line management support resulting from the reform process.It also outlines the local strengths that empowered the pilot to overcomethese challenges. In particular, there is a strong belief amongstparticipating G.P.s and local health service staff in the concept ofmultidisciplinary team working as an appropriate and necessary responseto the complexity of issues presenting in Ballymun and similar areas ofhigh deprivation. This belief and commitment has been the major strengththat sustained the pilot in the face of major challenges and that underpinsits success to date. The major contribution of the Ballymun pilot to thewider rollout of primary care teams is the development of a model of teamworking that is flat in ethos, intensive in operation, extremely broad inskill-mix and eminently suited to the implementation of the primarystrategy in similar urban areas of high deprivation. Membership of theteam emphasises the complementary role of medical and personal/socialservices in an area where high health and social needs are interlinked. It isan intensive form of teamworking underpinned by regular clinicalmeetings and joint consultations with families and individuals. It is a flatmodel of teamworking i.e. one that enshrines parity of esteem for allparticipating disciplines whilst recognising the varying levels of skill andaccountability involved. As such the model represents a vibrant workingpartnership between G.P.s and H.S.E. staff whilst avoiding dominance by aparticular discipline. As such this model represents a major departure fromthe disjointed and hierarchical mode of management and service provision in the health structure. In terms of future rollout the participative and flatstructure governing this model of teamworking has particular potential forthe empowerment of frontline staff in all relevant disciplines.

The Partnership Group, focusing on theWest and South Offaly area, made a successful application to the Combat Poverty Agency’s Building HealthyCommunities Programme in 2004. This funding was a catalyst to enhance the existing inter-agency approach,which resulted in the formation of a partnership steering group to address inequalities in health (including thebroader social determinants of health within a population health model) using a community developmentapproach.

A key to the successof the Initiative is the multiplicity of approaches that have beendeveloped; these have allowed flexibility to respond to local needs andthe different stages of project development. This suggests that a ‘onesize fits all’ approach is not appropriate, since levels of communitydevelopment and infrastructure and Primary Care Team (PCT)development vary from area to area.
