Access Secures New Contracts
05.05.11Â
Access has been successful with its recent proposal to the Canterbury DHB and is one of the organisations chosen to provide home support and community nursing in the Canterbury region under a new service specification with restorative focus.
This success reflects the high regard the Canterbury DHB has for the quality and professionalism of Access and the services we provide.
In addition, Access has secured a separate contract with the Canterbury DHB, to provide a new early supported discharge service. We will continue to provide services for our existing clients who need support after hospitalisation for an illness or surgery.
These contracts offer Access new and exciting opportunities for innovation, including new roles and new ways of doing things as we increase our capacity to cater for the significant growth in the number of new service users
.
Under the new arrangements, Access will be working collaboratively with the Canterbury DHB, primary care and other home based support service providers to improve the effectiveness of community services across the Canterbury region.
