| Annotation | Unique Care is an approach to managing the care of people with long-term conditions in primary care, based on the socio-medical model of case management first developed at the Castlefields Health Centre, Runcorn. Unique Care is now being promoted across the country by the National Primary Care Development Team (NPDT). This article presents a case study of how Brent is implementing Unique Care through the Care Co-ordination Service. It outlines key steps in the development of the service, from the initial vision and the pilot phase, to mainstreaming the service. The evidence suggests reductions in service use, alongside an increase in quality of life and improved perceptions of health and social care services among older people who have had contact with the team.
