DEMO: Health & Care services for you - post COVID-19
We want to take this opportunity to ‘lock in’ beneficial changes that we’ve collectively brought about throughout the pandemic. This may include things such as backing local initiative and flexibility; enhanced local system working; strong clinical leadership; flexible and remote working where appropriate; and rapid scaling of new technology-enabled service delivery options such as digital consultations.
We want to to hear from our staff and our communities to understand what we should keep, what we should tailor and what perhaps has not been so good.
This space has been set up to explore some of those opportunities:
- Share your ideas of new initiatives at work or in the community
- Tell us about your personal experiences of accessing services by answering our online survey
- Have you linked with any community groups/networks? Perhaps you can pin these on our map
- Join the conversation in our discussion forum about the benefits and pitfalls of the digital world in lockdown
- Tell us your patient stories about NHS services during lockdown
- What is your preferred method of having a GP appointment? Vote in our poll now!
Berkshire West CCG - Covid-19 Support and Primary Care Networks
The map shows the boundaries of the new Primary Care Networks (PCNs) in the Berkshire West CCG boundary. The red dots are the individual GP practices. As we move to support more families and individuals in the community, we need to understand better what support, both statutory and informal exists that people use in addition to their GP practice, so that PCNs can signpost patients to useful resources.
Can you add onto the map any of the following that have been providing useful support to patients/your community during the COVID-19 Pandemic?
These could be:
- Food banks
- Community alert networks
- Delivery schemes - e.g. pharmacy, food
- Shielding networks
- Support groups e.g. mental health groups, parent groups
- Private Medical Centres
Click on the plus sign next to the map and drop a pin on the map to let us know the organisations that have been really useful, so we can build up a map of where these are located.
