Clinical Pharmacists
Our Clinical Pharmacists are working closely with your GP Surgeries to support you with all your medication-related queries, as well as chronic disease management. They use their knowledge and expertise to help you make the best use of your medicines, keeping your ideas, concerns and expectations at the centre of every consultation, resulting in a holistic review.

Improving Mental Health
To improve access to mental health care we have introduced our Healthy Minds Hub. Through this we have a number of different routes we can explore, such as working with local organisations to provide Psychological Therapy trainees to our patients. We are also exploring an online therapy service which may benefit very many of our patients.

Improving Weight Management
Our Health & Wellbeing Team are working closely with patients who have an interest in taking control of their weight management. Current services do not always offer the personalised care that is needed in some cases. This is where our services offer a more personalised level of care aiming to help patients to take control and improve quality of life.
Enhanced Access
As part of our commitment to improving access to General Practice, we are working with our GP surgeries to offer various appointments during the evenings and weekends.
Appointments can be booked via your GP Surgery
Improving Cancer Care
Anyone registered with our practices, upon diagnosis of a cancer, should be offered the opportunity to speak to one of our Social Prescribing Link Workers. This can be really helpful in gaining extra support at a difficult time, as well as help and expertise about and social, emotional or financial support that you maybe entitled to.

This is the next step in helping to reduce health inequalities in our area and make our people and communities fairer, stronger and more connected.
