The BCF is a programme spanning both the NHS
and local government. Its aim is to improve the lives of some of
the most vulnerable people in our society by placing them at the
centre of their care and support and providing them with
‘wrap around’ fully integrated health and social care,
resulting in an improved experience and better quality of
life.
The council carried out a Black and Minority Ethnic Health Needs
Assessment that people from Gypsy and Traveller communities face
access issues in Doncaster with regards to primary care and
dentistry services in particular. The GT Link Worker will
facilitate more accessible health and wellbeing services for
members of Doncaster’s GT communities with a package of
measures designed to contribute to a significant reduction in
non-elective hospital admissions.
