| Description: | The Social Inclusion Division of the Department of Community, Equality
and Gaeltacht Affairs and the HSE developed a Joint Initiative to support
the involvement of disadvantaged communities and groups in the
development of primary health care services at local level. The Joint
Initiative aimed to support and test models of community participation in
primary care with a view to informing national policy and practice.
Nineteen projects were funded. They were located in community
development projects, local development companies, family resource
centres and community and voluntary fora and worked with a range of
health service staff and primary care practitioners.
Key activities supported under the Initiative included:
Developing and supporting community representative infrastructure,
including community health fora, to feed into PCTs/ Primary Care
Networks.
Conducting community needs assessments.
Developing joint plans between the HSE and community groups to
support community participation in PCTs and Primary Care Networks
using participative methodologies.
Training and support for PCTs on community participation. |
