Think Local Act Personal

A way of bringing together services to meet all your different needs if you have an ongoing health condition, and helping you stay independent. If you choose this option, a single, named case manager (sometimes known as a 'key worker') will take the lead in coordinating all the care and support provided by different agencies, offer person-centred care and enable you to remain in your own home and out of hospital as much as possible.
