b) HIU service
Up until the end of April 2024, we were still receiving clients dirady frorn the High Intensity User
Group meeting. which was chaired by OBTH Emergency Department staff. This refèrral pathway
looks 81 the top 30 attenders lo A&E. This has been the only way we currently receive informats'on
about th8 fr8qu8nl attenders and fecaive referrals. We have continued to attend throughout the
reporb'ng period and discuss Doncaster Mind's support in a mulli4isciFllnary settlng.
Referrals throughout the ygBr hBv8 been low from A&E and in the last reporting period, April - June,
we had 3 n8w reforrals. This means in lolal we are curr8nlly engaglng with 13 actlve clients In the HIU
prograrnme al Doncaster Mind. Thi5 is below our expected numbers, and we are conlldenl that wllh
the inlroducllon of the full HIU list we wlll be able to support an¢J engage with a greater audience of
dienls. wlh both their mental and physical heatth needs. We have 6ncounlor•d Some issues wf(h th18
Ihough as we do not r8cèlv8 up lo date Information from Ihese maelings regardlng hislortc clients Ih8t
have beèn rèf8rred. Once we have agreed lo reach out lo a client that we have dlscussed al thg HIUG
meetings, il can take 2 3 week5 before we are given any contact details for this person, including
telephone numbers or addresses. Th15 means we do not have Ihe mosl recent data for tho 2 or 3
weeks before our engagement wtth them.
Towards the end of tha year, we h8V8 888n progr8s8 In gelllng the fijll list. and a DPIA was signed
and agreed with the DHTH IG team. A 98mple ol this was sent, and we discusyed who we would
support or r80ch OLA to. Thls would include informalion 8uch 88 -
.DOB

GP PraGtice Code

Arrlval mode
Warning flag InforMa￿on
Prosenling complaint
No of non*lective gdmlsslons In the la8t 12 rnonths
This informBtion would en8ble us lo look al hèalth & 8qualily for people in Doncast8r. includlng areas
of dgprivallon. It would also give us 8n opportunity lo laikr what support was needed proactively,
bos8d on the prgsenling needlcomplalnl. When writing this Teport, we are in the linal stsg?s of
receiving the 250 list monlhly.
Some of the key factors w9 have $9gn are -
o Clients are acc&ssing the s8rwce face lo face or over the lelephone dependent on needs
o Clients atlendedlengaged wlth 93.250A of Ihelr contact sessions
o We have an increase cllenls with phys5cal needs who are not managbng thelr ￿ndItiOn
o Increase in cli8nts with 81cohol issues
We have seen some challenge8 With staffing over the year and we are currently out to recruf(menl for
two part time roles aner deciding lo spill the full Ilme role after not being successful in fulfilling these.
Once this has happ8nèd thls ¥wll stand us in good sltraLI whèn we receive the full list, and we will b8
able to reach out to more pgoplo who would benefit from the service. We hope to build on the
arnazing work that the leom alr8ady does, and it is clear from the data that our approach and
coaching method inlervenlion helps lo dramatically reduc8 A&E attendances using a non.clinical
Bpproach.

As we can see Ofl the tabb of stats that relate lo types of mental hegllh issues, we hove worked wllh
a high number of people who suffer from anxlely and depression. This Is reflecled in the work done by
Connèctors, as they have 5ignposled and referred service users lo different support avenu85 for
anxiety and depression throughout all four localllies.

In th& data abov8, we can clearly see that vAlhln the Mental Health Community Connaclors projecl,
the majority of our service Ljsers are predomlnantly female. Thls has been echoed by the Conne¢lorg,
as ihey have slated that they lend lo support women more than men - s)n the back of this, we've made
real push on supporting more and more m816 clients, this has b88n don8 by 8ttendlng groups ¥thlch
are heavSly m8le-domlnated, 8$ well 89 communlcating ￿th male-only groups such as Andy'9 Man
Club and Jackson Hopo Foundation. This has led lo the Connectors belng Snvlled lo speak lo group
facililalors and attendee's, thus resulb'ng in more man ascertaining whal thg Connaciors do and
rec8lvln9 SUPPOrt from them.
Th8 acti￿1￿#S undertaken by OUT serwce users pertain to our organi8alional strategy in various
dlfferent mannets. The Connectors project being predominantly delivered lo all dbfferenl comrnunilies
of Doncaster really 811ows the seNlce to conlrlbute lo our Doncaster Mlnd strategy, by bringlng locals
together lo have sn understandlng of what mental health Is bul algo how to have conver8allon8
