Keep On Keep Up (Digital Support)
Keep on Keep Up (KOKU)
We are currently supporting the Manchester University Research Programme on the benefits of KOKU.
During our home visits we identify anyone that is suitable and interested in taking part in the programme and forward details to the researchers who make contact to complete a home visit, complete a questionnaire and set them up on the KOKU App, providing tablets if none are available.
We then visit after 6 weeks and again after 12 weeks. For those not interested in taking part we give them the information to use the App themselves.
Frailty
Frailty has been identified as the priority for 3 of the neighbourhoods in Bury – we have met with the neighbourhoods and are adapting the information that we have following the visit to ensure that GPs can keep their records up to date with conversations around falls and referrals for medication reviews.
Small Aids & Adaptations
All members of the Staying Well Team are Trusted Assessors and can assess for small aids and adaptations. We identify these needs at the home visit by the holistic conversation that we have.
