Earl's Court: Turning Point

Ambition: Hardwiring co-production into a primary care setting

A partnership between Turning Point, Greenbrook - a GP-led primary care provider, Terrence Higgins Trust & NHS Dentists proposes to hardwire co-production into the running of a brand new Health and Wellbeing Centre which includes a GP led health centre, community sexual health services and NHS dentistry.

This innovative new Centre includes an extended community offering including: a team of wellbeing navigators working on reception providing signposting, employment and healthy lifestyles support, community space, a wellbeing motivational coaching service for patients with long term conditions and a peer support programme run through a timebank.

The centre opened its doors in December 2011 and is attracting new patients. Recent work has included the design of referral and after care protocols to support health professionals to work with patients on managing their long term conditions.
