Reshaping Care for Older People (RCOP) programme<\/a>, which aims to make independent living a reality to growing numbers of older people by providing more support and care in the community, at home or in homely settings.<\/p>\nJenny Hutton, Service Manager, Older Adults Team at North Lanarkshire Council, has played a lead role in the team. She explained:<\/p>\n
\u2018We\u2019re delighted to have been recognised in this way and it\u2019s testament to the hard work and commitment of all involved.\u2019<\/p>\n
Jenny continued: \u2018The weeks following a significant event such as a hospital admission, a fall, or a sudden episode of poor health are critically important in terms of people\u2019s health beliefs.<\/p>\n
\u2018They also present a window of opportunity to change expectations about coping and the future in positive and empowering ways.<\/p>\n
\u2018The psychologists are well placed to work with staff groups, like Home Support (who can assist with tasks such as washing, dressing and domestic duties) on equipping them with psychological approaches that support and empower people to live well at home.\u2019<\/p>\n
Janice Hewitt, Chief Officer of the North Lanarkshire Integrated Joint Board, said:<\/p>\n
\u2018Integration is about a whole system, a whole journey and having the best people in place to provide support that\u2019s needed.<\/p>\n
\u2018This award reflects the strength of our partnership and bodes well for the future.\u2019<\/p>\n
Councillor Jim Smith, Chair of the Transition Integration Board for North Lanarkshire and depute leader of North Lanarkshire Council, added:<\/p>\n
\u2018This recognition underlines the expertise, innovation and commitment of staff working together to improve the lives and outcomes for people.\u2019<\/p>\n
The NHS Lanarkshire Psychology team consists of a Senior Psychologist, Dr Susan Ross, and two Health Psychology Trainees, Heather Locke and Catherine Murray, who work within North Lanarkshire Council Older Adults Team.<\/p>\n
Dr Ross said:<\/p>\n
\u2018In essence, we\u2019re training staff to try and understand the thoughts and emotions behind the behaviours \u2013 and then seek to address these to change the behaviours.<\/p>\n
\u2018The general focus is on self-care, working closely with an individual over a limited time to build up skills and confidence and maximise their ability to live independently, safely and well.\u2019<\/p>\n
