ROSE project

ROSE PROJECT

ROSE project (Recognise, Onward referral, Safety and Empowerment) is a training, referral, and advocacy model which accepts referrals from GP practices, helping them understand domestic abuse in their patients. It recognises the importance of improving the healthcare response to domestic abuse through health and specialist services collaborating together by working with GP practices across Greater Manchester.
 

TRAINING AND SUPPORT

Our Advocate Educators and Clinical Leads provide training to clinical and reception staff in each GP practice. We improve healthcare staff’s knowledge of domestic abuse, their approach to speaking with survivors and advise how to refer to appropriate services. 

DIRECT REFERRAL 

Healthcare staff offer their patients who have been affected by domestic abuse, either currently or historically a referral into the ROSE project. We will provide updates to the clinician on the work undertaken with their patient and the outcome of support. 

SPECIALIST DOMESTIC ABUSE SUPPORT

Our Advocate Educators provide specialist domestic abuse support to patients who are referred to the service. Overall, we aim to support the patient to understand the domestic abuse they have experienced. 

WHAT ARE THE RESULTS?

83 General Practices across Greater Manchester are trained in domestic abuse and receive regular updates in their training.
99.3% of patients reported that they visit the GP less because of the support from ROSE.
