HEALTH & WELLBEING SERVICES

StreetSeen is the collective name for Light for Life’s interventions for individuals involved in street activity, whether that be Rough Sleeping, begging or street drinking/using substances. Light for Life provides Health & Wellbeing Services across the Sefton area for people with people with multiple and /or complex needs. 

StreetSeen@St.Marks is a joint initiative between Light for Life and St. Marks Medical Centre, Southport. Working in partnership with St. Marks Medical Centre, we provide a specialist Health & Wellbeing Clinic for vulnerable people. This is a special GP led clinic providing access to a full range of clinical services for people who may find it difficult to engage with services due to their complex needs and lifestyles.

The service also provides in-reach support at Southport and Ormskirk NHS Hospital Trust for those at risk of homelessness to ensure appropriate support is in place on discharge to minimise repeat presentations.

Health & Wellbeing staff work alongside colleagues in both Health and Accommodation Services to bring about positive outcomes for those who are most vulnerable.

Health & Wellbeing Services include:
  • Access to GP, Mental Health Nurse and General Nursing
  • Accompanied appointments
  • On-going support for referrals to specialists/secondary health care services
  • Hospital In-reach Service
  • Support to engage with addiction and mental health services
  • Referrals for patients in A and E or admitted to wards who are homeless
  • Face to face assessments with patients for accommodation
  • Links into Social Care, Housing, Probation to ensure that patients have safe places to - go to on discharge
  • Ongoing support to reduce admissions and improve quality of life
  • Randomised Hep C testing 
  • Counselling/CBT
