Impact measures

Social prescribing connects people to activities, groups, and services in their community to meet the practical, social and emotional needs that affect their health and wellbeing. We will ensure the availability of services for social prescribing
and increase the number of social prescribing unique contacts.

Lambeth Residents survey continues to measure residents’ wellbeing, use of community assets and social cohesion and shows year-on-year improvement.

Impact of the rising cost of living on Lambeth’s low-income residents is reduced. Measured by
an improvement in the financial resilience of our low-income residents as an indication of the support provided (increase in % of low-income residents coping financially).

Proportion of people with long term physical or mental health conditions who are economically
inactive will reduce.

Activity

• Complete a Joint Strategic Needs Assessment Health Profile of Childhood Immunisations in Lambeth using different data sources to better understand our population, collaboratively working with partners and local communities to investigate and identify the current and future health and service needs of our population.
• Review local incentivisation schemes for General Practices (GPs) and explore how they are routinely inviting residents for vaccinations, with the aim to improve vaccination uptake in specific cohorts (such as high-risk groups, over 65s, and children), focusing on those who have previously not responded or declined a vaccination appointment.
• Work with Primary Care Networks to improve invitation and reminder arrangements and consider alternative delivery sites to improve access for childhood immunisations and seasonal vaccination programmes with a focus on people aged over 65 and those with long term conditions.
• Acute settings within hospital trusts to routinely enquire about seasonal vaccinations when patients in high-risk cohorts attend sites, and co-administer vaccinations where possible.
• Health Visitors to continue to actively check immunisation status of newborns’ and infants during routine health reviews and refer parents to GPs for vaccination where required.

Of those children who have missed an
immunisation (non-responders), follow up by healthcare providers will increase uptake by a further 50%.

100% of school-age vaccination consent forms returned to the vaccination provider.

Increase the number of Lambeth registered population who are over the age of 65 receiving immunisation for flu

Activity

• Offer mental health awareness training and promote new Lambeth signposting tool to community and voluntary organisations particularly those that work with vulnerable communities.

They work and train with staff in our Living Well Centres and other Alliance teams to improve our
  support for people from Black communities. Improving our cultural awareness also helps to improve our support to all those from minority communities.

• In line with the Children and Young People’s Mental Health and Emotional Wellbeing Plan, design and deliver a multi-agency Single Point of Access (SPA) to mental health support, drawing together a range of services seeking to support children and young people and their families.
• Offer varied emotional wellbeing provision for children and young people that is a cohesive and joined-up offer, that is well-communicated and enables improved access – develop a standardised approach to measuring outcomes across providers.
• As part of the Suicide Prevention Action Plan and feeding into the Autism strategy work with mental health services to improve the experience of people with autism – relevant recommendations from the evidence review on autism and suicide are considered and adopted.
• Work collectively to improve experiences and recovery outcomes for black service users and carers
  through access to the right culturally appropriate care and support that meets people’s needs.
• Ensure that early access to emotional and psychological support for people experiencing mental distress can prevent a more severe mental health crisis and help people stay in their homes and work,
  which has positive benefits for them, their families and wider community.

Impact measures

Lambeth’s communities can co-deliver support for people to improve and maintain their emotional wellbeing.

Increase in the number of community organisations and volunteers undertaking mental health
awareness and suicide prevention training.

25% of those that need the Lambeth Talking

Therapies service (called access rate) should be able to access the service, 75% of people referred should
start treatment within 6 weeks and at least 50% of people who complete treatment should recover, in
line with national targets.

Children and young people that access emotional wellbeing support, report being more emotionally
healthy because of that support. To do this we will standardise our approach to measuring outcomes
from our full range of providers, allowing us to set a target for our ambition.

Activity

Sexually Transmitted Infections

• Open access Sexually Transmitted Infections clinical services will have a refreshed service offer.
• Work with the London Sexual Health Programme to plan for the future of the London e-service.
• Increase accuracy of partner notification and reporting.
• Increase and improve outreach and education to underserved groups.
• Work with pharmacies to consolidate a sexual and reproductive health service offer.
• Promote condom distribution services and benefits of condom use.

Abortion and reproductive health services

• Work with the NHS and providers to refresh the service offer.
• Analyse what our services are delivering and who is accessing them.
• Monitor contraception access at separate clinical, online, GP and other service providers.
• Pilot models of Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) training and delivery.
• Continue to use the e-service for contraception.
• Continue to develop online booking across providers to support access and gain ‘live’ system
  oversight of capacity.
• Continue participation with London and national partners to support a sustainable and accessible system.

Access to contraception

• Continue commissioning the e-service.
• Work with pharmacies to consolidate a sexual and reproductive health service offer.
• Increase education and promotional activities for residents.

Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC)

• Pilot models of LARC training and delivery.
• Continue to develop the digital tool/online booking across providers to support access and gain ‘live’
  system oversight of capacity.
• Commission additional training opportunities for primary care staff, Sexual Health in Practice (SHIP)
  and LARC.

Other sexual and reproductive health and HIV work

• Redesign outreach pathways for vulnerable adults and young people across services.
• Look to design and include alternative pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) access models.
• Maximise opportunities to co-create improved HIV pathways.

Impact measures

Whilst a high Sexually Transmitted Infections rate can reflect a high incidence of infection in the population, it can also suggest good access to and uptake of services that enable people to be tested and infections identified. We want to see a reduction in STI diagnoses while maintaining high rates of testing.

Monitor the gap in use of contraception from Sexual Health London (SHL) online among different ethnic groups and the number of abortions to Lambeth residents to address barriers to access.

Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) such as implants, or intra-uterine devices or intra-uterine systems (sometimes called “the coil”) are highly effective forms of contraception. Lambeth residents can access these in a wide range of
settings including in primary care. We will increase the number of LARC uptake in primary care. This indicator can also be used as a proxy measure for the overall aim of offering a range of contraception types in a range of settings.
