Major achievements during 2022/23

WBC Wellbeing Team has established a weekly health walk in partnership with Age UK and Healthy Living England. The team continues to build a presence at community venues with regular ‘drop ins’.

 

New ideas: Patient information video on statins created by WBC Pharmacy Team in partnership with Taurus.

WBC welcomed a Mental Health practitioner to the PCN bringing expertise to the general practice teams, improved access for patients, and closer working with the Mental Health Neighbourhood Team. 

 

Key focus areas for the next year:

Continue projects with network partners and Talk Wellbeing focusing on outreach, bringing health checks, social prescribing and coaching into community settings.

Working with Healthwatch to coordinate patient engagement and participation at PCN level. The initial focus will be on supporting patients to understand digital access.

Develop group education sessions led by our Health & Wellbeing Coach for people with diabetes.
