Care coordinators help to co-ordinate and navigate care across the health and care system, helping people make the right connections, with the right teams at the right time. They can support people to become more active in their own health and care and are skilled in assessing people’s changing needs. Care coordinators are effective in bringing together multidisciplinary teams to support people’s complex health and care needs.
