WACA and the Bradford District and Craven ICB recently held the 'Wharfedale and Craven Integrated Neighbourhood Health Team Workshop' to offer a key opportunity for local NHS organisations and VCS partners to come together to discuss how the new neighbourhood model is expanding across the system and to play a vital role in shaping how services evolve to better meet the needs of local communities.
Ling House Medical Centre held a Men's Health Event this week which was supported by charities and local organisations including My Living Well, Prostate Cancer UK, and Keighley Dementia Advice. Men were invited along to listen to a GP-Led talk from Dr David Thompson on prostate cancer and the benefits and disadvantages of screening and they could then choose if they wanted to go ahead with the PSA test. They were also able to have their blood pressure and atrial fibrilation checked and Shamim and Sharon from the the social prescribing team were on hand to offer lifestyle support and advice.
As part of the 'Get Online Week' at Skipton Library, Ayisha Hameed from Digital Inclusion Bradford and Fiona from WACA were on hand to speak with people about how to access the NHS App and how it offers a convenient access to some health services including ordering repeat prescriptions, managing appointments and viewing parts of your health record.
