The Cardiff and Vale Health Inclusion Service (CAVHIS) is a University Health Board (UHB) commissioned service for inclusion health groups that face significant challenges when attempting to access health and social care services. It is situated in the Cardiff Royal Infirmary and is managed by the Primary, Community, and Intermediate Care Clinical Board.
The service currently provides:
Public Health screening for people seeking asylum and refugees (via Welsh Government resettlement schemes).
GP registration and access to medical, health visiting and midwifery for asylum seekers arriving via irregular routes under section 98 of the Home Office 1996 Immigration Act. This care is provided for up to 3-4 months whilst individuals are supported to transition into traditional primary care services. Permanent registration may be required for those who are not stable enough, or are too vulnerable, to navigate traditional GMS care (this may include destitute asylum seekers, individuals with No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) and vulnerable refugees).
Level of specialist nursing to work with people experiencing homelessness in and around Cardiff Council’s high need hostels.
GP outreach clinics into agreed Cardiff Council’s high needs homeless hostels.
Health inclusion nurses based in the Emergency Unit to support the management and timely turnaround of health inclusion groups who do not require admission.
An Alternative Treatment Service for individuals who have been de-registered from GP Practices due to risk of verbal/physical abuse.
Service Aims
To widen the remit of the current CAVHIS service to serve all inclusion health groups the service is under development. In 24/25 the service aims to:
Introduce drop in health clinics run by GP/nurse at probation sites.
Provision of street based medicine to those unable to attend drop in clinics (e.g., mobile Gypsy Roma Travellers who have stopped for short periods).
Expand current resource in the Emergency Unit to provide 7 day coverage and a specialist multi-agency team to attend the wards 3 days a week to support with discharge of complex patients.
