Abstract Background A Community Connector is a specialist Social Prescriber for older individuals who often present with complex medical needs and are referred directly by an Integrated Care team. The programme is a collaborative model between this team and a respective community host organisation. Integrated Care, as part of the Sláintecare Programme, places a stronger emphasis on social supports and person-centredness as key elements in healthcare (Goodwin, 2013). Methods Referrals are received approximately two to three weeks prior to discharge from the Integrated Care team which allows for relevant feedback from the Community Connector to this team. A coaching approach is utilised as a way of exploring each participant’s individual priorities and their expressed interests and goals in order to enhance their awareness of resources and supports in their own community and their subsequent readiness to engage. This process involves co-creating a personalised wellbeing plan with each individual which can act as the basis for a joint learning journey together. Results On referrals received to the programme, ongoing data is recorded regarding the number of individuals participating, the activities undertaken and the outcomes affecting the wellbeing of participants. Social isolation is a key reason for referral among this cohort in addition to cognitive stimulation, reengagement in social outlets and carer stress. Programme participants continue to be referred to a range of community activities, programmes and supports. Preliminary findings show an increase in community connectedness in regard to individuals’ increased knowledge and subsequent participation in local activities. Conclusion Key qualitative and quantitative data are the basis for initial and ongoing evaluation of the programme. These include recording any reflections and challenges which then act as key learning tools in delivering a unique person-centred programme for older individuals.
