Presentation Transcript

  1. On the Radar Database Project Background • LVSC approached by Regional Public Health Group (NHS London) to set up a database of voluntary and community sector (VCS) organisations delivering public health services in London that can be used by commissioners tendering new contracts • Pilot project agreed in January this year – to include alcohol services in the first instance • Pilot project funded by NHS London and Regional Public Health Group

  2. On the Radar database project Background continued.. • LVSC agreed a partnership with London Drugs Alcohol Network and Age UK London to develop the pilot. Two part-time consultants were also recruited. • A questionnaire for VCS organisations to complete was consulted on and agreed and widely disseminated to the sector. • LVSC, the partners and consultants provided support to groups to complete the questionnaires – e.g. around issue of measuring the quality and impacts of their services including additional social and environmental impacts

  3. On the Radar Database Project Background continued.. • LVSC worked closely with Regional Public Health Group and the database developers during this time Future developments: • The database is live as from today. On the Radar contains a long list of public health categories but all except alcohol hidden for testing purposes today

  4. On the Radar Database Project Future developments continued.. • Other services including mental health services, healthy eating, physical activity, domestic violence, housing and many others will be able to benefit from being on the database. • It will be available as soon as LVSC’s website has been finally adapted at the end of next week. You can then register your own organisation on the database if you haven’t done so already!

  5. On the Radar Database Project Future developments continued.. The database is part of a bigger project. It will: • ensure VCS organisations raise the profile of their work and demonstrate their impact to a relevant audience of public health decision-makers and commissioners; • increase opportunities for organisations to be commissioned in the future; • enable London's public health commissioners to identify gaps in services and new development opportunities for VCS organisations;

  6. On the Radar Database Project Future developments continued.. • enable VCS organisations to use the database to research possible partner organisations in their area or if they want to know about a range of other public health services delivered by VCS organisations that they can signpost their users to these services. LVSC is working in partnership with StartHere to develop a bid to the Dept of Health Innovation Fund.

  7. On the Radar Database Project Future developments continued.. • StartHere already provides a national easily accessible web-based service to help patients and carers search for services in their local area. Aims of this project are to: • to integrate the StartHere and On the Radar database to provide a national website that can be used by both commissioners, patients and carers;

  8. On the Radar Database Project Future developments continued.. • ensure easily accessible and high quality information for these different users. • Initially we wish to pilot this with VCS providers in London. Simon will talk about StartHere and the benefits of joined up resources in his presentation later on.
