| Annotation | 'The national evaluation of Partnerships for Older People Projects' conducted by the Personal Social Services Research Unit (PSSRU) provides a positive picture of the gains that can be achieved, based on local evaluations of the 29 POPPs pilot sites. This document provides the key learning from the national POPPs programme. It brings together a number of key policy strands, and demonstrates the importance of a preventative approach to most areas of the health and social care agenda. Among other key messages are that: involving older people is important; quality of life can be improved through preventative approaches; and meeting people's needs with a preventative approach can create efficiencies. Examples demonstrate the effectiveness of specific local projects. Published at the same time is a DVD, 'Prevention and early intervention', which explores detail on the benefits of particular interventions. (RH). |
