Local Integration — Referral Pathways & Stakeholder Engagement
REFERRAL PATHWAYS CORNWALL DPP: Primary care referral (well-established) supported by 'Healthy Cornwall' public health website and ICB website.
REFERRAL PATHWAYS CORNWALL T2DR: GP referral; lunch-and-learn Teams meetings open to all GP practices with evening practice clinical meeting follow-up.
REFERRAL PATHWAYS CORNWALL BSOP: Mandated for all new eligible patients prescribed tirzepatide for weight loss in primary care. Lunch-and-learns at scheme start; touchpoint meetings with provider; non-referring practices contacted to remind of patient engagement value. INCENTIVE: Currently incentivising primary care to review diabetes annual checks exception lists.
REFERRAL PATHWAYS DEVON: Implementing a Single Point of Access (SPOA) as gateway to weight management/lifestyle support - triages all referrals against criteria (BMI >40; >35 with comorbidity; >30 with diabetes/hypertension; >27 with recent T2D within 6 years). SPOA supports onward referral via eRS to DPP/T2DR/BSOP or liaises with patient's GP.

Meeting Local Need — Health Inequalities & Underrepresented Populations
RURALITY: 40% of Cornwall residents live in settlements under 3,000; only 5 towns with 20-30k population. Many areas lack digital connectivity.
KEY LANGUAGES CORNWALL: Only 1.8% of population have a main language other than English (none exceeding 0.5%) - largely Eastern European (Polish, Romanian, Lithuanian).
KEY LANGUAGES DEVON: Over 90% of residents report English as main language; small non-English population. ETHNICITY: Cornwall 96.81% white (vs 81.05% England average); Gypsy/Traveller 0.13% (slightly above England average).
DEPRIVATION CORNWALL: ~58,500 people (10.2%) live in 20% most deprived in England (2025 IoD); 3 areas in most deprived 5% nationally - West Cornwall (Penzance/Treneere; Camborne/Pengegon) and Bodmin (Kinsman Estate, Monument Way).
DEPRIVATION DEVON: Spread across deciles - 5% in most deprived decile, 7% in 2nd, 10% in 3rd; 4% in least deprived. Unpaid care increasing; poorer than average outcomes for some mental health and wellbeing measures.
INCLUSION HEALTH: Public health 'Inclusion Cornwall' supports digital access; CHAMPs team (people with LD and/or autistic people) developed by Healthy Cornwall - supports better access to health services, easy-read information and signage, training for staff, and the 'healthy me' course. Provider expected to link with CHAMPs team for DPP access.
POPULATION HEALTH MANAGEMENT: Cornwall BI team has PHM tool covering population segmentation, LTC/risk factor prevalence and health inequalities - supports targeting and PCN/INT comparison.
