Assessment & Review Team

Please note that this DVD contains excerpts from a film made by staff in the Assessment & Review Team within the East Devon Care Direct Plus service rather than by a professional film company. Some parts of this short DVD are therefore not as polished as you might expect, but it does give a real-life insight into the team's work. We thank the staff for making the DVD and for agreeing to store these excerpts on our public web pages for you to view.

Complex Care Teams

David Johnstone explains the reasons and benefits of working in integrated teams.  You can see the complex care teams in action and hear from a user and a GP about the benefits it has brought them.

On Our Own

Wywurree is part of Devon County Council Social Services. It provides training and support for people with a learning disability who want to live independently.

Link Age Plus

This film 'The Age of Opportunity in Devon - the Link Age Plus Difference' explains the work of Link Age Plus (LAP). LAP was intended to pilot ways of providing fully integrated services for older people. It was a Government5 initiative to tackle social exclusion among people aged 50 plus, particularly those who are 'harder to reach' such as frailer people and people from minority communities.

Full version of Community Mentoring DVD - Time For Life

As our population ages, an increasing number of people face the social isolation and loneliness which can frequently follow common later life events such as bereavement, illness, disability or becoming a carer. This film looks at the way community mentoring can help isolated individuals achieve a permanent improvement in the day-to-day lives. It follows the case studies of people who have undergone community mentoring and also features a GP's perspective.
