Birmingham | Total Place Pilot
A new Whitehall strategy, the Total Place Pilot, looks at how a 'whole area' approach to public services can lead to better services at less cost. The Birmingham | Total Place Pilot - Repeat Attendees at A&E and Acute Units project is a focused initiative, devised in direct response to this strategy. The project is led by The Birmingham Drug and Alcohol Action Team (BDAAT), and is focused on providing a multi-agency response - including joint assessment and care-planning - to the health and social needs of adult dependant drinkers who are frequently admitted to hospital following diagnosis with an alcohol-specific condition.
