Community Health and Wellbeing workers (CHWW)
You may start to see our new Community Health and Wellbeing Workers around the surgery. They are working collaboratively with Millbank Medical Centre to promote the health and wellbeing of local individuals and groups. The team will mainly be out and about in the community visiting patients at home to support them with their health and care needs.
It’s a new initiative that provides proactive outreach to the community in Churchill Gardens – at the moment we only have 4 part time CHWWs who cover around 500 households in the area, visiting households regularly and building trust and relationships to increase health literacy, uptake of prevention and screening opportunities, light social prescribing and chronic disease support as well as helping with housing, employment and other wider determinants.
