IHWUK provides a complete package of services to commissioners and employers to improve the quality of public health initiatives and help to drive down the health and social costs associated with alcohol harm. IHWUK has highly sophisticated tools and methodologies for local alcohol needs assessment, and service re-design, training packages for IBA and can also project manage the introduction of a 'Payment by Results' (PbR) approach. IHWUK can, with partner organisations, deliver specialist treatment services - employing and managing staff directly.

Working with employers across the public, private and third sectors to deliver a range of interventions to promote positive health behaviours in the workforce and through this, drive down the cost to employers of lifestyle related sickness, absenteeism and accidents in the workplace. Interventions include, IBA training for front-line managers and occupational health staff, alcohol awareness training, alcohol policy development, brief advice counselling for staff.

Working with Primary Care Trusts, GP Practices, third sector providers and the private sector, to design and establish evidence based services that address the needs of people seeking help for mental health problems in primary care. We also specialise in designing services for those whose presenting problems are primarily physical, such as those with long term conditions, which, if not effectively addressed, can lead them to make heavy demands on primary and secondary acute care.

Working with a range of Criminal Justice agencies (prisons, probation trusts, police, courts) to ensure that staff are fully competent to deliver brief advice and provide support to alcohol misusing offenders. Also help to design systems and pathways to promote the delivery of evidence-based interventions to meet the needs of the full range of alcohol-misusing offenders.

At IHWUK, we recognise that safeguarding adults is fundamental to the health and wellbeing of our population and cuts across all the work we do.

Safeguarding has become a major area of focus for the government and regulators, as well as service providers and commissioners. Organisations are rightly being scrutinised and held to account for how well they safeguard people who are at greatest risk of neglect and abuse.

We work with emerging Health and Wellbeing Boards, wider Clinical Commissioning Groups and schools to support the commissioning of integrated children's services and in developing all aspects of evidence-based children and young people's health and wellbeing services.

HealthWatch provides councils with an opportunity to review the way they provide current Local Involvement Networks (LINks) and how they will deliver their new responsibilities of Patient Advice and Liaison Services and NHS complaints advocacy from April 2013.

Adults with learning disability remain one of the most vulnerable groups in society, experiencing health inequalities, social exclusion and stigmatisation. Despite having greater and more complex health needs than the general population, people with a learning disability access health services less, experience significant barriers to accessing and receive a lower level of care.
