NHS North East London in partnership with local GPs and North East London Foundation Trust (NELFT), is currently trialling a new service in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge for patients requiring simple wound care.
From the week of 15th May, patients at Barts Health (including Whipps Cross Hospital) can access their health record online through a portal called Patients Know Best.
This week NHS England has announced the start of a London-wide catch-up campaign for polio and measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccinations for unvaccinated or partially vaccinated children aged 1 to 11 years old.
Londoners aged 75 or over, or those with a weakened immune system, can book their spring Covid-19 vaccine. Those eligible can book at https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/covid-19/covid-19-vaccination/, through the NHS App, or by calling 119.
Healthwatch Redbridge were pleased to fund the Black Woman Kindness Initiative Community Day event. This was made possible through our Community Cash Fund, a fund available to members of our Healthwatch Redbridge Community Network.
Last year we undertook a survey into people's experiences of Post-Covid-19 syndrome (formerly known as Long-Covid). We produced a report and our findings were shared with GPs across Redbridge.
