Meet the Hampshire, Southampton, and Isle of Wight Complex Care team Our team consists of both clinical and operational staff who are responsible for commissioning the care provision for children and young people eligible for NHS continuing care up to the age of 18. We operate across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, excluding Portsmouth. Currently we are overseeing the care for approx. 116 children and their families across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. It is important to us that the supported children and their families receive the best possible care. In the coming weeks we are hoping to engage with children and their families in our care to fully understand the barriers that they face with the service they received from us and any other services which are being provided. We are aware our families face issues and challenges around the care provided by our Care Providers, Direct Payments and employment of their own PA’s. Hampshire Parent Network and Parent Voice have generously offered to host a meet and greet session to look at the pressures families face on a day-to-day basis. This will help us try to address some of these issues which are within our remit. Our aim is that these meetings will continue on a regular basis so that we can build a relationship with families and better understand any issues faced from a family perspective. We have also commenced a co-production group which families can join for specific topics or on an ongoing basis. Our initial meeting will be held on Zoom on Monday 28 June, 11-12pm - here is the link Zoom meeting details: Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81922934944?pwd=OXl3c2lYeFpKOFJveWlBOU1qYy9hQT09 Meeting ID: 819 2293 4944 Passcode: NHS The initial meeting will not have a set agenda, as we would just like to get to know our families issues first. Agendas for future meetings will be something that can be set by families. If you would like to be part of the initial session, please advise us by emailing [email protected] and we will send you over the joining instructions.
