Final Health and Wellbeing Clinic reports now available
The Economic Case Studies Assessment is part of the evaluation by OPM of Macmillan’s health and wellbeing clinics pilot. The Health and Wellbeing Clinic Executive Summary has been compiled for commissioners and provider organisations interested in the wider implementation of Macmillan Cancer Support’s health and wellbeing clinics, piloted in 2010-11.
The Health and Wellbeing Summary briefly discusses the role of Health and Wellbeing Clinics as “one stop shops” where patients and the carers/family can access professionals and the full range of relevant information in one place, at one time, rather than individual appointments to see different clinical and non-clinical staff. The Health and Wellbeing Clinic Final Report is the final report of three which have been produced during the one-year evaluation. This report presents the results and findings from the 14 pilot sites.
