Merton case management model

Introduced in February 2017, our case management model has a team of clinical and non-clinical case managers and care navigators, including a pharmacist, working together to meet the complex and multiple needs of adult patients in Merton.

We combine clinical and non-clinical interventions ie, social prescribing, to address medical, social, psycho-social, mental, Isolation, non-engaging, substance misuse and pharmacy/medicine issues. We also help clients that are not engaging with the process and have substance misuse issues or are homeless.
