Working in partnership
Age UK Milton Keynes works with other organisations, both public and private, in order to provide the services that local older people tell us they need.
Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Health and Care Partnership - fund the Age UK Milton Keynes Hospital Aftercare Service which works closely with Milton Keynes Hospital to provide support to people when they are patients on a hospital ward or in A&E. Our staff also take people home from hospital and can provide practical support for up to six weeks after discharge.
The Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Health and Care Partnership is an integrated care system formally established on 1 July 2022. With the NHS, councils and other organisations working together in partnership, residents who have a range of health and care needs will be supported in a more joined up way. It should make accessing services simpler and the support provided more effective.

Milton Keynes City Council - fund the new Carers support service, of which we are the specialist provider for carers of an older person (65+). Working with other organisations like Citizens Advice, MIND, Alzheimers society, CHUMS and Talkback/Family Lives we can ensure that there is robust information, advice, support and guidance for all unpaid carers.
