Healthy Lives Advisor children and young people

Social Prescribing for children and young people aged 11- 18 years.

Children and young people’s Social Prescribing is a non-medical approach to improving your health and wellbeing. It can help you to have more control over your own health and find ways to improve how you feel in a way that suits you; The Healthy Lives Advisor for children and young people will work together with you to develop an action plan around what matters to you.  Children and young people might be referred to the Health Lives Advisor for a range of issues including:

 

  • Children and young people who may feel isolated and want support to meet other people
  • Children and young people who may have a long-term chronic health condition which would be helped through community activities
  • Children and young people who may need help to find support or advice with practical issues such as money or housing
  • Children and young people who may want help and support with their wellbeing and education.

Social Prescribing is not designed to replace medical support but getting involved with local groups and activities can help you get better and feel better faster than medicine alone. Your Healthy Lives Advisor might introduce you to a community group or a new activity. They may help you to meet new people or, they might help you find information or access advice about a particular issue.

A referral can be made to the Healthy Lives Advisor by your GP.

PLEASE MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE NURSE FOR YOUR HEALTH CHECK

What is an NHS Health Check?

The NHS Health Check is a health check-up for adults in England aged 40-74. It's designed to spot early signs of stroke, kidney disease, heart disease, type 2 diabetes or dementia. As we get older, we have a higher risk of developing one of these conditions. An NHS Health Check helps find ways to lower this risk.

Patient Participation Group

We are actively seeking more people to join our on line group if you are interested please email  westbury.medicalcentre@nhs.net or phone 01743 884727 and please email us with any thoughts/ suggestions that you would like us to consider

 

Data Choices

Your Data Matters to the NHS

Information about your health and care helps us to improve your individual care, speed up diagnosis, plan your local services and research new treatments. The NHS is committed to keeping patient information safe and always being clear about how it is used.

How your data is used

Information about your individual care such as treatment and diagnoses is collected about you whenever you use health and care services. It is also used to help us and other organisations for research and planning such as research into new treatments, deciding where to put GP clinics and planning for the number of doctors and nurses in your local hospital.  It is only used in this way when there is a clear legal basis to use the information to help improve health and care for you, your family and future generations.

Wherever possible we try to use data that does not identify you, but sometimes it is necessary to use your confidential patient information.

You have a choice

You do not need to do anything if you are happy about how your information is used. If you do not want your confidential patient information to be used for research and planning, you can choose to opt out securely online or through a telephone service. You can change your mind about your choice at any time.

Will choosing this opt-out affect your care and treatment?

No, choosing to opt out will not affect how information is used to support your care and treatment. You will still be invited for screening services, such as screenings for bowel cancer.

What do you need to do?

If you are happy for your confidential patient information to be used for research and planning, you do not need to do anything.
