Connecting communities programme evaluation: Integrated leg care clinic

Biddle, Michele; Dodd, Emily; Jones, Mat

Abstract

This is a report on the evaluation of the Connecting Communities Integrated Leg Care Clinic (ILCC), one of five pilot projects developed by Age UK Bristol (AUKB) for the Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care System (BNSSG ICS) Ageing Well programme, which ran from April 2022 to March 2023.

Under this programme, a new clinic was set up at the Withywood Centre in South Bristol, where a very high need for the service was identified. It served patients registered at GP surgeries across the Swift Primary Care Network (PCN).

The aim of our evaluation was to assess the impact of the ILCC in reducing the negative impacts of social isolation on older people’s health and wellbeing using a mixed methods approach.
