They make up a significant proportion of the demand on services that amounts to huge costs in terms of time and resource. This can create a risk of services being unable to meet an emergency. \nA number of public services are trialling new ways of managing frequent users and addressing their needs. They are putting the right tools in place to manage needs without emergency services\, leading to quicker resolution of issues and a better experience for the service user. Other public services are working together to share information in order to identify and meet the needs of frequent users. \nConsidering the provisions of the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act\, this seminar provides an important opportunity. It will allow public services to come together to re-design services that place the wellbeing of the service user and the wider population firmly in the centre. \nFind out more and register via the Wales Audit Office website.  URL:https://c3sc.org.uk/event-single/designing-effective-services-for-frequent-users/ LOCATION:Wales Audit Office\, 24 Cathedral Road\, Cardiff CF11 9LJ\, Wales Audit Office\, 24 Cathedral Road\, Cardiff CF11 9LJ CATEGORIES:Training END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170118 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170120 DTSTAMP:20260403T205424 CREATED:20170111T153353Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170111T153353Z UID:48986-1484697600-1484870399@c3sc.org.uk SUMMARY:How to Live Well with Mental ill Health DESCRIPTION:“How to live well with mental ill health” is a workshop that has been developed by people with lived experience of mental health issues. \nThe workshop will improve your knowledge and understanding of mental health.
