About

Attain Health Management Services awarded a contract to Turning Point for the delivery of the Luton Wellbeing Service, an integrated health and wellbeing service commissioned jointly by NHS Luton Clinical Commissioning Group and Luton Council.

The service aims to proactively deliver a preventative approach emphasising the whole person to achieve optimum physical, mental, social and emotional health.

Turning Point will act as the lead (Prime) provider, potentially working with local partner organisations under a single branding to promote a 'one-service' model.

The service will be an integral part of the Primary Care Home clinical model, enabling public access to wellbeing support locally.

The scope includes Primary Care Mental Health Assessment and Liaison Service, Talking Therapies, Improved Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT), Live Well Luton healthy lifestyle services, weight management (all ages), healthy living, exercise referral, physical activity, smoking cessation and tobacco control (including school prevention), social prescription, and community health checks.

The service covers a full life course for healthy lifestyles, with the majority initially focused on adults 16+ and future scope to include greater focus on children's mental wellbeing.

Mobilisation is expected over 2 years with a 3-phased approach: Phase 1 includes all IAPT services, healthy living services, social prescriptions, and smoking cessation; Phase 2 involves development of the Primary Care Mental Health Assessment and Liaison Service.

The contract value is AUD 28,200,000.
