In our 9th episode we talk to Dr Connie Junghans, GP in Westminster, London, Senior Clinical Fellow at Imperial College London and Clinical Lead for the Community Health and Wellbeing Workers (CHWWs - hence the bad Star Wars joke...) programme in West London. Connie talks to us about how they've implemented this model of proactive and comprehensive programme in Westminster involving teams of workers visiting around 120 households several times a year to address unmet health and social needs.
The programme has the support of the National Association for Primary Care, NHS England's Professor Bola Owolabi and seems to be expanding into new areas each year across the UK - and with only £300 million estimated to fund the workers in the areas in greatest need across the UK, begs question if this should be a new feature in primary care planning.
