A new report showcases how - by working together - we're developing better health and social care services for Portsmouth residents!
The report features a series of five case studies to highlight how teams and services are breaking down barriers across organisations.

In Jan:
๐ฉโโ๏ธ 63% of appointments were offered face-to-face
๐ 31% were offered on the phone

Thank you @LincolnshireFA for inviting me to be part of an International Womenโs Day celebratory football event. Great to hear from the wonderful panellists & catch up with @leanne_woodhead @cclincssouth. Nice work @DrEllmore for hosting @LincolnSportEx.
So much work has happened in Portsmouth to improve mental health services over the last 3 years - so it was a pleasure to host a thank you event for everyone involved in the project!
Great to celebrate the Mental Health Hub, #YouAreNotAlone campaign, work with 16-25yos and more!
Great to have filmed this with Rob and discover more about his mental health journey.

Proud to have made this happen and be there on the day to hear Katโs session. Some very engaged and enthusiastic young people in the room! #Paulsgrove#aspirationsweek
Pupils in Paulsgrove found out about the 350+ careers in the NHS yesterday as part of @HCPortsmouth's support for Aspirations Week! A huge thank you to Kat at @SolentNHSTrust who wowed children at The Victory and Beacon View primary with her passion and enthusiasm for the NHS!
The latest GP data for Portsmouth shows that almost 95,000 appointments were offered across our 10 GP practices in November, and an increase in the number of missed appointments. See more๐
4000+ people were unable to attend the appointment they'd booked at their GP practice in Portsmouth in November - the equivalent of 28.6 days lost in GP time.
If you can no longer attend, please do let your practice know so they can offer the appointment to someone else ๐
Please do not use the hospital or ED unnecessarily.
Alternative support and care is available through:
๐ฉโโ๏ธ Urgent Treatment Centres (UTCs)
๐จโโ๏ธ Pharmacies and primary care
๐ป NHS 111 online or
๐ Call 111 for advice on where to access help

Hannah struggled with her mental health for a long time before reaching out to someone.
She gives her advice on what to say to someone who might be struggling, or how services like the Portsmouth Mental Health Hub can help you.

Iโve been at Beacon View Primary Academy today, helping to serve Xmas dinner to 200+ people in Paulsgrove. A fantastic initiative from Headteacher Sally and the team at Beacon View, a wonderful atmosphere and lots of happy people of all ages! #christmas
Due to extreme pressures, we've declared a critical incident at QA Hospital. We need every space to treat people with life threatening conditions. Please do not attend our ED unless it is vital & use our local urgent treat centres or call 111. https://t.co/FxPnIGe7Ig
