CERT Foundation – PSMDB project funds

The PSMDB project funds new ideas the impact on people’s health and well-being. The programme seeks to establish innovative and financially sustainable services that will enable people in need to avoid hospital admissions, stay in their own homes longer and ensure that people can lead as normal a life as possible during an illness or as a result of incapacity.

By achieving this they want to;

• Ensure that the people we care for have the best care possible, in settings that they choose and delivered by providers they know and trust
• Reduce the costs to the NHS
• Help organisations to work in partnership to deliver bigger and better services
• Increase the sustainable income available to local organisations
• Delay the need for residential care and hospital admissions
• Reduce visits to casualty departments
• Reduce the pressure on G.P practices
• Keep people fitter and healthier

They can provide:

• Start-up funding
• Help to put a proposal together
• Access to business start-up advice and guidance
• On-going support
• Sign-posting to access other sources of funding
• Help to find partner organisations
• Links to mainstream NHS services
• Publicity and signposting to your project
