Where does Evercare Support add the most value?

The most valuable contribution from Evercare was:

• Focussing the project management and setting a challenging pace

• Challenging accepted practice and stating the obvious

• Keeping it simple in terms of the model and the approach to implementation

• Expertise and experience around delivering care to frail elderly

• They were able to facilitate transposition of global learning into PCTs in terms the clinical expertise, stimulation to thinking and debate with PCTs and the tools inherent to the Evercare model.

How could other PCTs implement the Evercare model without Evercare support?

The discussion here focused around access to the expertise, which has already grown within the PCTs involved in implementing the model:

• Access to the original pilot sites was important to allow other sites to share in the experience of others and to make use of solutions that had been generated elsewhere. This would need to be managed in a way that minimised the burden on the original PCTs

• Practical resources/solutions/ideas could be made available through the NatPaCT website.
