Single
Assessment Process - learning and development resource
The Centre for Policy on Ageing has been commissioned
by the Department of Health to identify learning and development
materials for health and social care professionals
implementing the Single
Assessment Process. The
materials focus on practice and change with respect to joint
working, assessment and health/social care conditions of older
people. The aim of this work is to provide access to information,
in all its various forms, that can be shared across localities,
organisations and individuals to support work around SAP.
The
materials located on the website act as a continually developing
resource freely available to all. Where possible we make the
material itself accessible via the website. We provide web
links and downloadable documents, where people are happy for
us to do this, or we give full contact details to help source
a piece of information.
New
features include the addition of a SAP discussion
forum and a glossary
to enhance the search facility. The resource is organised
into the following sections:
-
learning and development materials
-
discussion forum
-
'good practice' and innovation
- dedicated
SAP websites
-
organisations offering training and practical resources
-
glossary of health, social care and information technology
(incorporating long term conditions)
Future
areas to be covered within the resource include long term
conditions; community matrons; IT; self assessment; and direct
payments.
The DH Change Agent Team commented
in their Annual
Report 2003/2004 that the resource 'has been found to
be extremely useful, both as a reference point for materials
on SAP and as a focal point for discussion about SAP implementation'.
The CPA SAP project team was
very pleased to receive the GLG Award 2004 from the Government
Libraries Group, CILIP, in recognition of the value of
the SAP resource for information sharing and as a prototype
for information tools in other subject areas.
We would be delighted to hear from you in relation to this
work. If you have any materials, protocols, videos, training
guides or good practice examples, or know of the existence
of any, then please contact Gillian Crosby either on 020 7553
6500 or by e-mail Project
manager: Gillian Crosby
Other documentation continues
to be available via the Department
of Health SAP website .
