Patient Needs Groups explained

Health and social care providers are asked to jointly plan neighbourhood health for the local populations with an initial focus on people with the most complex health and care needs.

To help clinicians tailor care for people, especially those with the greatest need, people in Kent and Medway will start to be segmented using the Johns Hopkins tool. This puts people into Patient Needs Groups (PNGs).

If you use the NHS App, you may have already seen your PNG.

How do PNGs work?

Everyone is different. Some people are very healthy, some have one or two health problems, and some have many health problems.
The PNG system puts people into 11 different groups based on how much care and support they are likely to need.
Your group can change if your health changes.

This is "Patient Need Groups and neighbourhood teams" by Kent Community Health on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

As the weather heats up this weekend, make sure you stock up on sunscreen!

Even if it’s cloudy, UV rays can still cause sunburn. Follow this advice to stay safe and avoid getting sunburnt, and reduce your risk of developing skin cancer.

Today is World Hypertension Day.
High blood pressure - or hypertension - often shows no warning signs, yet it increases the risk for heart disease, stroke, blindness, dementia, and other complications.

A simple blood pressure check can be life-saving.

Getting your blood pressure measured the right way helps ensure accurate results.
Incorrect positions can lead to incorrect readings.

✔ Sit with your back supported
✔ Legs uncrossed and feet flat on the floor
✔ Arm supported with the cuff at heart level
✔ Use correct cuff size
✔ Rest for at least 5 minutes before the reading
✔ Do not talk during or between measurements
✔ Avoid exercise, tea/coffee, and smoking for at least 30 minutes before reading

Small steps can make a big difference in protecting your health.
