Wes Streeting calls you and asks for *tangible* ideas he can implement to help NHS improve performance. But there's no extra money for big spending. What's your one idea? #FantasyNHS

I'll start - staff passports across regions to free up pointless mandatory training time.

Looking forward to returning to Milat Islamia Masjid next week for our third health check event. In this video, local Imam Ali explains why working with communities is essential in long term CVD prevention and reducing health inequalities @Improve_Academy

In 2022 @CONeillEM began looking at ways we could support our community after anecdotal evidence from clinical staff and the community indicated poor cardiovascular outcomes from ethnic minority communities. We are thrilled it has been nominated for @HSJptsafety @HealthInnovYH

[Bradford District Craven Health & Care Partnership @ActAsOneBDC]

Ciaran is working closely with communities & partners across BDC to make health checks accessible.

In this video he tells us how he's working with local imam Ali to bring health checks to faith settings like the mosque.

A huge achievement over the past year and in collaboration many community organisations to deliver health checks in high-risk communities, all underpinned by ConnectedBradford data

Research suggested cardiovascular disease (CVD) disproportionately affects those from the poorest communities; those from the most socio-economically deprived communities are more than four times more likely to die prematurely from #CVD. https://t.co/M09zqfVMeu

A huge thank you to everyone involved in making it a success @coneillem @lawtontri @bradford4better @uniofbradford @abidarafiq4 @shahid_islam @v1sharma

[Shahid Islam @shahid_islam]

We wrote an article for the BD5 magazine about the importance of health checks and included a little story about my pal @ShadimHussain along with some basic facts & stats about high BP. This magazine is posted to approx 7000 homes in the Little Horton Ward.

[Shadim Hussain MBE @ShadimHussain]

@shahid_islam @CONeillEM @bradford4better @TheDocAhmed @Improve_Academy @AbidaRafiq4 It is truly important that we look after our health and not ignore the signs our bodies give us. It is a pleasure to be featured in the BD5 magazine. Thanks to @shahid_islam for raising awareness on the impact of high blood pressure. 🙏🏽

@shahid_islam @CONeillEM @Improve_Academy @bradford4better @v1sharma Not forgetting the amazing @G_tonCentre who have worked very hard in making sure the event was well attended &providing scrumptious healthy refreshments Great team effort all around. Thank you @CONeillEM &Rubina Burhan centre manager at Girlington Centre. Much needed initiative.

[Fozia Shaheen @FoziaShaheen3]

I am delighted to have supported the health check event @G_tonCentre in partnership with the local GP practices. It was great to see over 100s of people in attendance.

Sadly, with the number of attendees the demand could not be met.

The struggle is real!

#savetheNHS

[Shahid Islam @shahid_islam]

It's absolutely heaving in Girlington Centre today (standing room only) as people from the local community are attending to have their basic health checked. These events are show very high demand. Special thanks to @CONeillEM @Improve_Academy @bradford4better @v1sharma #health
