Abstract

Localised organisations can identify and by building on, developing, and creating trust in ‎communities and delivering services in a coordinated and varied multi-pronged way presents ‎a wonderful opportunity full prevention of poor health outcomes, is empowering not only for ‎clients, patients, and community but also for the professionals that worked together in the ‎services being proposed. The evidence is that by working together in an interdisciplinary way ‎practitioners learn from each other, learn new ways of doing things, build reflection into their ‎practice and combined they can make creative, innovative, and preventative solutions ‎materialise and longer term can be an effective use of public funding.‎
My research has shown that there are innovations which can be made, which although not ‎easy because of different professional cultures, can lead to significant at lasting inroads that ‎prevent poor health outcomes and present opportunities to support people in social care ‎beyond those that are currently available (Curran 2022).‎
It is my submission, that a fundamental re-examination of how services in the United Kingdom ‎are funded is needed. This includes an acknowledgment that the social determinant of health ‎outcomes will never be improved with the current siloed, sporadic, and difficult funding ‎regimes in which frontline service delivery agencies tend to operate. Public health for many ‎years has looked at the important role of health promotion and the use of primary healthcare ‎including allied health services in preventing problems as well as ensuring earlier intervention. ‎Many people in poverty an experiencing discrimination for multiple reasons in the United ‎Kingdom and are only likely to get help at the ambulatory end and when they are in crisis, ‎rather than providing holistic, client centred support at the earliest possible stages to assist in ‎problem solving an active and effective referral.‎
