Haringey Multi-Agency Care and Coordination Team (MACCT)
Managing health, wellbeing and preventing crises through innovative partnership working
Who are we?
The Multi Agency Care and Coordination Team (MACCT) is a proactive and preventative care service for adults living with frailty or complex long term health care needs. We work in partnership with Haringey GP practices to identify those who may benefit from our support.
We are an integrated team of professionals from multiple disciplines and agencies. The team includes:
- Multi-disciplinary team (MDT) tele-conference
- Social workers
- Mental health workers
- Occupational therapists
- Physiotherapists
- Navigators
- Pharmacists
- Community matrons
- A general practitioner
The role of the team is to support patients to maintain health, well-being, independence and self-management of their health conditions. We are the Haringey Hub for Integrated Working.
What do we offer?
As an anticipatory care service we aim to keep people well, work towards their goals and reduce avoidable hospital attendances or crises.
Referrals will be triaged by a senior clinician and if accepted may be proposed to MDT teleconference, and or receive a holistic assessment (comprehensive geriatric assessment where appropriate).
We can provide tailored interventions to support the client’s medical, functional, mental health and social care needs. Adopting a patient centred approach, we set goals with our clients and create personalised care and crisis plans.
The team can coordinate care needs and will work in partnership with professionals already involved in a client’s care to provide wraparound multi-disciplinary support. We are well placed to link our clients with other services and support they need to make a positive difference to their health and wellbeing.

An example of such are those who:
- Recently returned home from an unplanned admission to hospital
- Are at risk of falls or repeat falls
- Live with dementia which is having an impact on daily function and/or those who are carers themselves

- People living with multiple and/or complex long-term health conditions (including dementia) who would benefit from MDT input.
- People who require coordination of their care, whether already known to multiple services or not.
- People who have frequent unplanned hospital admissions and are at future risk of this continuing.
