Pro Active Care Team (PACT)
What is PACT?
PACT (Proactive Care Team) is a service which has an integrated approach to providing holistic, person-centred care. The service is based on a multi-agency approach so that it can use a holistic approach to providing support, which includes developing community assets and promoting self-care.
What can I expect from a PACT assessment?
Once you have been seen by a Care Coordinator, to ensure consistency and efficiency, all PACT visits are discussed at a Multi-Disciplinary Team Meeting (MDT). The MDT is 1 hour per week and includes existing service providers including GP representation from each practice, ACPs, Mental Health workers, Social Services, Social Prescribers, Community Matrons, District Nurse, Nurse Practitioners and VCS representation, to name a few. The MDT is used to review the patient, discuss the outcome of the assessment completed by the Care Coordinator and then provide an opportunity for other members of the MDT to input into the agreed care for the patient. A plan is then developed and finalised which ensures that the person is linked in with the relevant VCS services within the community and health services available.
If you have any questions about a PACT visit or would like to speak with your PACT Care Coordinator, please call your GP Practice and ask the reception team for a call back from the PACTeam.
