Lambeth Addictions Consortium and the Shared Care Team
Several years ago Drug and Alcohol treatment providers across Lambeth
consisted mainly of;
SLaM NHS Foundation Trust
Blenheim CDP
Foundation 66
& Addaction/Mainliners
3 years ago, along with Lambeth PCT we all agreed to plan and develop a
partnership model, this developed into a fully integrated
Consortium Treatment Model
Mainliners/Addaction
Lambeth Addictions Consortium
The Lambeth Treatment Consortium is made up of 3 main Teams
The Opiate Pathway Team
Alcohol and other drugs (stimulant, cannabis etc) Pathway Team
And
The Shared Care Team (SCT)
(each team is made up of all 4 providers)
-Also SMT partners and ACTS-
There are 3 main sites across Lambeth;
Lorraine Hewitt House – Brixton
The Harbour – Loughborough Junction
Addaction/Mainliners – in Streatham
Lambeth residents can attend any of the services for an assessment
including their GP and be offered the same treatment package no
matter where they attend

Why Shared Care in Lambeth works
Clients can be book in to see a SCT worker themselves
If Opiate problem, then same day prescribing/titration happens within
primary care
Clients are seen weekly or fortnightly or offered extra time at other
location
ALL clients have their ‘own’ Addictions Recovery Care Plan (ARC)
Clinical notes, copies of care plans, risk assessments etc are all entered
onto the surgery Emis system
GP’s have a role in ARC and clients physical h/care needs met
Weekly/Monthly Review meetings with GP and worker
Drug/Alcohol detox and rehab can be arranged by their SCT worker
12 Lambeth pharmacists trained to carry out Alcohol Detox for shared
care clients
Excellent links with ‘talking therapies’ - IAPTS

Why Shared Care in Lambeth works
PCSMAG and GP Forums held
GP’s can call myself/Mike anytime to troubleshoot
We also aim to carry out yearly clinic reviews with our GP partners
If required, smooth transfer of clients back into LHH
LHH/LH transfers out to primary care; adequate planning, 3 way
meetings, meeting with GP, 3 month trial etc
Lambeth Shared Care SU’s monthly meeting held
Yearly SU Audits and PEDIC carried out – action plans developed
All shared care clients are referred into any Consortium Groups across
the Borough – SCT have the highest referrals into the group programme
SC clients also attend the Recovery Space: ACTS

education etc

- To summarise -
All our clients receive Recovery-based Care Plans and are fully engaged with
these, starting from ‘what Recovery means to them’
They have access to all recovery focussed groups across the Borough
We have very experienced GP’s that are addictions-trained and interested in
working with our client group & in turn our clients genuinely feel ‘cared for and well
looked after’
Our SC model is tried and tested, we do have ongoing excellent SU input and we
do make changes and adapt when our SU’s give us feedback, they are our key
stakeholders to our model being successful
