PUBLIC AND STAKEHOLDER UPDATE ON THE ICAN PROGRAMME
Monday 6th December 2021, 3pm - 4pm
On Monday, 6th December 2021, we will be holding a public and stakeholder event on the integrated Care Across Northamptonshire (iCAN) programme. If you have heard of the programme, and you might already be involved with it, or you might not be familiar with it, then this virtual event will tell you all you need to know. The iCAN programme has three aims:
- Ensuring we choose well: that no one is in hospital without a need to be there
- Ensuring people can stay well
- Ensuring people can live well: by staying at home if that is right for them
The five year programme is aimed at the older person with frailty, and has been designed to ensure that person has a positive lifetime of health, wellbeing and care in our community.
We will have updates from health, care and local government leaders and practitioners to give you more information about the programme of work, what it means for you and what opportunities you will have to get involved.
The event on the 6th will also explore plans for integrated care, top tips for winter wellness and discuss the themes for a Festival of Living and Ageing Well that we are planning for the spring of 2022, where there will be opportunities for you to co-produce the new services and give vital input on how things are working and how to improve them.
This event is open to anyone else in your organisation as well so please do forward this email to anyone you feel this would be relevant to.

THANK YOU!
We are grateful for the support of EVERYONE who shared with us celebrating what #BefriendingIs. We will continue to raise awareness with passion, drive and creativity.
Many older people living in their own homes can become isolated and lonely, but with a regular weekly visit; perhaps to read the paper to a visually impaired person, to play cards, have a conversation, share past memories and explore what is important to the person.

Befriending is helping reduce social isolation and improve the health & wellbeing for people who are lonely, isolated and frail by providing a visiting service to residents in their own homes.

IMAGINE NOT SPEAKING TO ANYONE FOR DAYS AND DAYS!
Research shows that older people living on their own risk loneliness and social isolation and need more emotional support, companionship and timely support to sustain their mental and physical wellbeing.
Issues to be addressed include:
• Social isolation and disconnection from communities; feelings of emotional loneliness and poor mental wellbeing.
• Health and social inequalities - barriers to accessing support.
• Making unnecessary GP and /or A&E visits.
