Setting up a signposting hub

Having a central place where you can direct your patients is a great way to integrate and promote local services and support that they can tap into.

You might wish to do this by providing a hard-copy folder with leaflets and posters to your local teams delivering fae-to-face groups, however, another effective and efficient way of centrally collating these is to set up a web page you can then quickly share the link and keeping it up-to-date is much easier.

Key considerations:

• Finding the best place to locate this – this could be an additional page on your organisation’s website or anywhere that you feel is best place for this

• Ensuring there are links from local practice websites may also be a good route to increase traffic to the site - add it to the text you send to practices where they are advertising your services

• You will need to spend some time collating a range of locally available services that may be of interest and keeping this regularly updated

• It could be a simple page with hyperlinks to other service’s websites
