The Liverpool PCT experience

Kate Craddock Commissioning Lead for Older People’s Services, Liverpool Primary Care Trust

“We wanted to bring together all the information which was stored in different parts of the PCT in relation to the funding of people with complex needs.

We recognised that we needed to amalgamate all this information in order to be able to predict demand for services in the future.

We went to Carehome Selection basis of a recommendation from another PCT.

The attraction of Carehome Selection was in knowing the company already work in the continuing healthcare sector and understand the relevant policies and initiatives.

It was not just a case of an IT company asking us what we wanted from a new database.

It has been very much a partnership - Carehome Selection have advised us on all the different fields and functions we need on the database in order to meet our objectives.”

Independent Consultant in Continuing Care Sally Gooch describes her experience of the Continuing Care database. Sally provides consultancy in continuing healthcare for PCTs across the UK.
