Developed as part of the national Year of Care programme exploring how to implement care planning, the guide sets out why it is important to include non-traditional providers (e.g. charities, comunity organisations and social enterprises) in the mix of services

The guide explores a possible organisational model that can be adapted according to local circumstances, resources and need and how it could work on a practical level.

The guide is of relevance to: Commissioners, primary health care teams, Health and Wellbeing Boards, anyone with an interest in redesigning services to improve outcomes of people with LTCs.
