Deliver better outcomes
with less effort

The Lancaster Model (TLM) helps school health teams identify need earlier, direct resources more effectively, and demonstrate the impact of their work.

A tool built around how school health teams actually work

TLM standardises early identification across your service, giving every child a consistent, research-based health assessment at the right stage of their school journey.

The result: earlier intervention, better use of specialist skills, and clear data to evidence the value of your service to commissioners and government.

Foundation tools to digitise and connect

One platform featuring a suite of tools to achieve your digital transformation plans. Start with our four foundation products, or explore our extensive range of solutions for frontline and operational digitisation.

‍Earlier intervention, fewer complex cases

Identify health needs before they escalate into longer-term, harder-to-treat conditions — for individuals and across your population.

Live, local data at the push of a button

Aggregated population-level data lets you direct proactive, preventative public health practice based on what's actually happening in your area right now.

Evidence for your service specification

Demonstrate compliance with government directives and your commissioned service specification, all by data.

A more efficient workforce

Standardised, universal early identification means staff spend less time on administration and more time on high-value practice.

Substantiated, standardised practice

A consistent baseline across your service makes it easier to evidence what's working, where to focus, and how outcomes are changing over time.

A stronger offer when tendering

TLM gives your service a credible, evidence-based differentiator — strengthening your position when competing for contracts.

Full use of specialist skills

Designed to make the best use of the training and expertise of Specialist Community Public Health Nurses, keeping them focused where they add most value.

Better outcomes for families

Children, young people, and their families get the right support at the right time — the outcome your service exists to deliver.t.

How does it work?

TLM is designed around the realities of delivering school health services today like rising demand, stretched teams and increasing pressure to demonstrate value. These four commitments reflect what TLM consistently helps services achieve.

Stop problems escalating for individuals and at a population level, before they become complex and costly to manage.

Most health services are set up to respond but TLM helps you get ahead. By assessing every child at key stages, you create a consistent safety net that catches emerging needs early, when they're easier and cheaper to address. That means fewer crisis referrals, less pressure on specialist services, and better long-term outcomes for the children and young people in your care.

Use live, local, aggregated data to direct and evidence preventative work in your area, not last year's figures.

TLM generates real-time population data from every completed questionnaire. You can see trends emerging across schools, year groups, and localities, and use that insight to target resources where they are most needed. It also gives you the evidence base to justify proactive programmes to commissioners, rather than relying on anecdote or national statistics that may not reflect your area.

‍

Meet your service specification and demonstrate workforce efficiency and effectiveness with clear, consistent data.

Commissioners and government bodies expect school health services to deliver universal coverage, evidence outcomes, and show value for money. TLM gives you a structured, auditable way to demonstrate all three. Every assessment is recorded, every intervention is traceable, and your service specification compliance is visible without adding significant administrative burden to your team.

Standardise assessment across your service and measure outcomes in a way that stands up to scrutiny.

When different practitioners assess need in different ways, it is hard to know whether variation in outcomes reflects genuine difference or inconsistent practice. TLM removes that uncertainty. A standardised, validated questionnaire means every child is assessed the same way, every time, giving you a reliable baseline, comparable data across sites, and measurable evidence of change over time.
