NHS NCL Integrated Care System has launched a campaign to help local residents find out how best to get the health care they need, whether that’s via their GP, their high street pharmacy, other health professionals, or online; including encouraging people to get vaccinated.
Over the next few days the team will be sending all GP practices a poster for display in patient waiting areas. Please look out for this and display it where you can to help raise awareness.
Also coming soon will be a toolkit specifically designed for GP practices, including content for waiting room screens so you can support the campaign further.
Other campaign materials are available on the NCL Health and Care website for immediate download.
The Your Local Health Team campaign is being coordinated by the ICB with the help of strong backing support from local councils and NHS trusts, to bring together key messages on how to access primary care, get vaccinated, and stay well. Over the next 18 months, social media, outdoor ads, local council magazine articles, flyers, and engagement events will invite NCL residents to find out more on the NCL Health and Care website.
You will also see photos and interviews featuring primary care colleagues from GP practices and pharmacies in NCL, talking about how people can get the care they need.
