The range of service users’ needs which the services provided are meant to meet
By 2026 the population of Swindon is projected to grow by 81,600 people, which is an increase of 27.2 %. In Wiltshire a higher percentage of the over 65 year old population are receiving community services and future predictions show that in the over 75 year age group there will be a greater percentage of people with a limiting long term illness.
The ongoing impact of obesity, alcohol, smoking and dementia, the prevalence of chronic disease in GP registered populations, particularly diabetes, coronary heart disease and chronic respiratory conditions will continue to impact on use of health care.
The Trust is currently looking to be further at the forefront of healthcare innovation especially in the context of shifting care closer to home ensuring care is delivered in the
