What are Wellbeing Hubs?

Plymouth's Wellbeing Hubs have four main aims

• To improve the health and wellbeing outcomes for local people
• To reduce inequalities in health and wellbeing
• To improve people's experience of care 
• To improve the sustainability of the health and wellbeing system

We also work in partnership with a range of organisations in the city who can provide additional health and wellbeing support

The generic offer of every hub includes health advocacy, debt advice, mental health support, opportunities to volunteer, employment advice, signposting of local and citywide providers of health services. 

The hubs are a key part of the city's One System, One Aim vision which looks to transform care by taking a different approach.

• From patients to people - the hubs will be designed to engage with people recognising they have strengths and assets and with support can achieve outcomes without being viewed as patients who need things doing to them
• From care settings to places and communities - the hubs will be a place and community-based offer and will help to develop communities that care
• From what's the matter with you to what matters to you - the plan is to focus on the assets of individuals and build on that to achieve the things they want to achieve
• From illness management to wellness support - the focus is on prevention and wellbeing
