Complex Care Support Team

A multidisciplinary team of professionals from primary care services and Vall d’Hebron Hospital, working together with a shared objective.

The Complex Care Support Team, launched in February 2017 as part of the Casernes - Vall d’Hebron Hospital Primary Care Service, is an early intervention, personal and proactive outpatient service for those with complex chronic care needs at risk of aggravation within the AIS Nord districts. It is based on a new organisational model promoted by Barcelona Primary Care Services and Vall d'Hebron Hospital.
