Led by the Haringey GP Federation and Whittington Community Health, the MACC team brings together and builds upon the following existing preventative and care coordination services:

  • Frailty Integrated Care Network (CHINS)
  • Haringey Coordination and Prevention Service (HCAPS)
  • Haringey Teleconference MDT
  • Community Matron Service

In addition, team members are drawn from Haringey Adult Social Care, Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust and voluntary sec-tor agencies to create a wider multi-agency, multi-professional team:  Care Navigators, Community Matrons, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Pharmacists, a Social Worker, Mental Health practitioners, and a GP

“Through multiagency, integrated team working we offer more joined up and patient-centred care”.

  • Proactive and preventative services provide support to patients with rising risk before they require acute interventions.
  • Holistic assessments and interventions support a patient’s medical, functional, mental health and social care needs within the wider team. 
  • Interventions are tailored according to both the type and level of need.
