GP Access Update: BBC Sheffield and a new Wellbeing Group

Since running our GP Access Project in September we’ve had a great response from local people and from decision makers to the work we’ve done.

Partnering between Lived Experience Sheffield, Healthwatch, Chapelgreen Surgery and ourselves we worked on listening to patients experiences in gaining access to mental health support at a surgery and what suggestions might be made for improvement.

You can read more about the project, see the report and recommendations below

New Wellbeing Group at Chapelgreen Surgery

One of the recommendations of the report was to “create other routes to care and reviewing how crisis issues were dealt with” at the Surgery. As a direct outcome of this, we’ve been able to launch a Wellbeing Group starting Monday 15th January at 6pm at Chapelgreen Surgery. You can find more below. The group will be led by Andy Freeman and Tammy Raines from Lived Experience Sheffield and is open to all.

We’re grateful to SOAR and People Keeping Wellbeing for enabling this pilot.
