Community Services

Community services are the foundation of healthcare in the NHS, offering patients and families rehabilitation, treatment and support. Improvements to community service provision offers a significant opportunity to release capacity across the whole healthcare system, impacting acute hospital admissions and discharges.

Arden & GEM provides a range of services to enhance the provision of Community Services and meet key ambitions established in the NHS Long Term Plan, Fuller Stocktake Report, Community Rehabilitation Best Practice Standards and NHS England priorities and operational planning guidance. We help customers understand their current position, engage with stakeholders and enable change. We design tailored solutions that provide the capacity and skills required to deliver effective and efficient Community Services. Our offer is underpinned by expertise in multiple areas including programme and project management, BI and analytics, finance and performance and solutions to health inequalities.

We tailor our support to your individual challenges and help you to transform your Community Services across three key domains:

• Discovery: Mapping the system wide service against best practice. Mapping system wide resources and assets. Collating and analysing system wide data. Pathway reviews and evaluating outcomes. Options appraisal and recommendations.
• Engagement and Co-design: Facilitating workshops with clinicians to design the new future state. Working with communities to ensure needs are represented. Ensuring effective stakeholder management is in place. Utilising our broad portfolio of services where specialist knowledge is required.
• Delivery of New Models: Working with you to define a programme of work that meets your requirements with clearly scoped outcomes and benefits. Establishing robust project management systems. Building a culture for change and embedding new practices to maximise benefit realisation.
