AnnotationThere are indications that the 29 POPP (Partnerships for Older People Projects) pilot sites continue to have a demonstrable effect on reducing emergency hospital bed-day use when compared with non-POPP sites. This second report provides a summary of key findings from the National Evaluation of the Department of Health (DH) POPP Programme. These summary findings are based on data collected and analysed for the period April 2006 to March 2008, and are made available to support emerging learning around prevention and early intervention. The focus is on: the nature of the POPP projects; the POPP partnerships; older people's involvement within the POPP programmes; the impact of the POPP projects in terms of quality of life and cost-effectiveness; sustainability; and key learning points and achievements. All the issues and evidence on which these findings are based will be made available in the final report of the National Evaluation in Autumn 2009. A website (www.changeagentteam.org.uk/POPP) has further information about POPPs. (RH).
