At a recent meeting of the South Reading Patient Voice, members heard from Berkshire Healthcare manager Fiona Slevin-Brown, how Health and Social Care are improving their coordination by working together in three regions of the South Reading CCG area. This is part of a major drive to upgrade community care and reduce the number of emergency hospital admissions. The entirety of the South Reading CCG is divided into three parts. The first is Tilehurst, between the rivers Thames and kennet and facing towards the West. Then we have South Reading stretching out towards the Reading boundary and the M4. Lastly, there is East Reading,south of the Thames and covering the Eastern lobe of the borough. In each region social workers and community nurses will coordinate using specialised conferencing software that allows them to hold conference calls, including common viewing of documents.
