Healthwatch Shropshire highlights successes during challenging year

Healthwatch Shropshire played a vital role during the past year in keeping the public updated about the Covid 19 pandemic and the constant changes during the early days and weeks of the vaccination programme. Its recently-published Annual Report 2020-21, highlights the charity’s successes as the team continued to listen to people’s experiences of health and social care services during this challenging time and shared the information with decision-makers.

NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin CCG is calling on the local community to share its views on proposals for an exciting health and wellbeing hub in Shrewsbury.  

Come join the conversation on the 4^th March 2021 at 12:00 to 13:30pm.

This webinar will be an engaging conversation with BBC contributor Dr Nighat Arif. It will be a safe space to ask questions or share your concerns regarding the vaccination and fertility, or anything related to women’s health. Everyone is welcome to join the conversation.

NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) have launched a new patient experience survey to gather patients’ views on the current blood taking service. If you have either used the service during the COVID-19 pandemic or before then please take the time to fill in the survey. By taking part, you will be contributing towards making the service work the way it should for people that are using it.

If we could reinforce that people should contact the National Booking System rather than their GP this would be helpful.

The Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Trust are looking for people to join their new Response Volunteer Scheme at their hospital sites in Shrewsbury and Telford. Volunteers that can respond to service pressures and demands will provide key support to wards and departments, particularly in the difficult winter months, when we see a high rise in demand.
