SWF Health & Social Care Group

SWF Health & Social Care Group April 2016 it was agreed by SWF Healthcare 2000 Group (SWFHC2000) and SWF Town Council (SWFTC) to form the new SWF Health & Social Care Group

As Essex has moved out of Lockdown2 into Tier 2 for COVID-19, SWF Health & Social Care Group continues to work collaboratively with the Town’s GPs and Pharmacists. We also answer referrals from the national GoodSAM, Essex Wellbeing & Chelmsford Community Support Services. We’re glad the last month seems to have stopped the growth in cases of this terrible virus, and the NHS continues to cope with

all other needs. Thanks to Chelmsford Community Hub/CVS we have emergency resources for the next few months; since 23 March we’ve delivered over 4450 tasks. The approval of the first Covid vaccination is great news; plans are being made for the delivery of this for our area and arrangements will be announced shortly. We’re providing health & social care support, information and signposting to patients & people in SWF and surrounds who are at risk, isolating & staying at home, and are without a local support network. If you need help or have queries about any local health and social care issues you may find relevant information on our website https://swfhealthsocial.co.uk/ ; if you need help or information please don’t hesitate to contact us on [email protected] . For those without internet access a voicemail can be left on the Chair’s work line 01245 322079 which is monitored daily. Best wishes to everyone; Hands-Face-Space; stay safe, protect our NHS, save lives.
