If you haven't heard - we have a walking group that meets up every fortnight to have a wander around Pittville Park. It's been a lovely activity to get patients outside for a breath of fresh air and brisk exercise. 🚶‍♀️🚶🚶‍♂️

Our group of mixed ages and abilities has built some wonderful friendships over time and we keep each other motivated to live well for longer. Of course, we'd still love to have a few more join in! 🙋‍♀️💪

We meet again tomorrow at 1pm outside Central Cross Cafe.

We delivered another successful Digi Hub this week at the Wilson Health Centre with our lovely new Digi Hub Mentor, Rachel! GlosDigi

Here are some of the highlights:

⚙️ We helped a carer access her husband's medical records. He had lots of appointments and test results and now she can view all of this conveniently on her phone via the NHS app.

⚙️ We showed a patient how to to view all of their prescriptions, as well as just their repeat ones on the NHS app.

⚙️ We helped a patient log in to the NHS app and troubleshooted problems with installing it on their device.

⚙️ We helped a patient update to the latest version of the NHS app and how to check for future updates, making sure they get the best functionality and experience.

If you don't catch us here, please do find digital support at these other community settings:

GRCC's DAISI Project @ School House Café

Our Children & Young People's Social Prescribers joined Maggie's in Cheltenham and our other lovely partners Charlie's & Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice for their Children & Family Fun Day!

We were so pleased that over 70 people attended! This special event brought together families affected by cancer for a meaningful day of connection, wellbeing, and enjoyment.

Activities ranged from arts & crafts, yoga, tai chi, massage, a visit to the fire station, a pet therapy dog and a children's entertainer. Families shared their positive experiences from the day and appreciated the 'safe place' with a 'wonderful vibe'.

We also felt the event helped to further strengthen our community bonds as we raised awareness of the social prescribing support available for everyone. Thank you for having us!
