The National Health & Justice team and the London Violence Reduction programme recently held a series of annual reviews with the London Vanguards. These were held in person, hosted by each Vanguard at venues within their ICS areas. The purpose of the annual reviews was for the Vanguards to reflect on their progress since launch, including successes and challenges they experienced in delivering this new model of care.
We are delighted to announce as part of our Mental Health Trauma workstream, letters of intention for funding have been sent to Major Trauma Centre’s (MTCs) to pilot for two years, the integrated model of care for physical and psychological trauma care which can be then stepped up when a major incident occurs.
Three Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) were selected after a competitive process to pilot the London Vanguard model in their areas based on their local needs – North Central London, North East London and South East London.
The Vanguard programme aims to work effectively with communities to co-produce better outcomes for young people at risk of being involved in violence. The model of care provides therapeutic services whilst addressing local inequalities and marginalisation to improve the lives of young people with complex needs.
Bringing together health led outreach initiatives to create a cohesive model of care for violence reduction that is replicable across local Integrated Care Systems.
Social prescribing is a way of connecting those most affected, or at risk of violence within their communities, with local support. The pathway is designed to support clinical and non-clinical staff in identifying vulnerable individuals and getting them the right kind of support within the community.
The NHS Violence Reduction Programme in London, in partnership with Health Education England, has developed an eLearning resource for both clinical and non-clinical NHS staff who may work in settings requiring an understanding of violence reduction.
Hospitals play a key role in addressing the drivers of violence and contributing towards violence prevention. The NHS London Violence Reduction Programme was set up in 2019 to support clinical teams in developing locally sensitive approaches to tackling the root causes of violence, inequality and exclusion.
To develop and pilot a comprehensive integrated model of care for major trauma patients, that ensures equity of high quality physical and psychological trauma care in London’s MTCs that can be stepped up when a major incident occurs.
The Violence Reduction Academy (VR Academy) will play a significant role in encouraging collaboration, sharing learning and supporting local VR implementation through an open-minded and non-hierarchical ethos.
