What happens now?

- Following this appointment, we will identify which professions would need to be involved in your care.
- We are a goal-based service and will work with you to establish your individualised values and goals.
Where will I be seen?
- We typically deliver input within the home environment.
- Where appropriate, we can also deliver input within the outpatient setting, with clinics based at various premises across the Wigan Borough.
Where there are no identified/current needs or goals:
- A referral to our service is not required where there are no identified/current needs or goals; however, should your needs change in the future, you can contact us to discuss if our input would be appropriate.
