Class 3 – What our priorities are and how we are doing

Alongside our GMS priorities, the practice works in tandem with out Neath Cluster partners to:

• Prevent ill health enabling people to keep themselves well and independent for as long a possible.
• Develop the range and quality of services that are provided in the community.
• Ensure services provided by a wide range of health and social care professionals in the community are better coordinated to local needs.
• Improve communication and information sharing between different health, social care and voluntary sector professionals.
• Facilitate closer working between community based and hospital services, ensuring that patients receive a smooth and safe transition from hospital services to community based services and vice versa.

The current cluster plan sets out what the practice and the cluster will do between 2018/2021 towards achieving these aims.  Previous cluster plans  are available at http://www.primarycareone.wales.nhs.uk/neath-port-talbot-neath
