    Jennifer added: "We’ve been listening to GPs, commissioners, communities and frontline health and community workers who are working tirelessly to ensure that people are connected to support and services that are available to them. 

    "We're able to facilitate areas connecting with primary care and adding their volunteers, services and additional Link Workers to one platform that can support them in connecting people to services.

    "The system can run reports on the overall and specific progress being made across a number of different locations/ levels/ cohort groups and see the effectiveness of coordination, whilst identifying any gaps in provision. This solution is now freely available to all Elemental customers."
