New helpline goes live to support people's mental health - key message for patients Local NHS Trust, Cheshire and Wirral Partnership (CWP), has launched a new mental health helpline for residents of Cheshire West, Cheshire East and Wirral. Open 24 hours a day, seven-days a week, it is open to people of all ages including children and young people who need urgent mental health support. The helpline is part of the NHS Long Term Plan to improve access to mental health support. O...riginally due to go live next year, it has been fast-tracked to be available to support local people during the Covid-19 pandemic.
What to do if you need urgent mental health help: • Please call 0300 303 3972 and our dedicated local NHS staff will support you to access the help you need; • The helpline is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is open to people of all ages – including children and young people; • The helpline is now the first port of call for mental health help – it is operated by people in your local area who will know how best to support you. If you call NHS111 you may have to wait longer for help and will be re-directed to this local service – so call 0300 303 3972; • Please note, A&E and 999 are not the best places to get help for the majority of mental health problems – call 0300 303 3972 to be directed to the best local service to support you; • You should still call 999 or go to A&E if you have an immediate, life-threatening emergency requiring mental or physical health assistance; • For non-urgent help and general wellbeing advice, the CWP website contains information and links to resources to support people with anxiety, low mood, and worries relating to the current Covid-19 pandemic www.cwp.nhs.uk • For children and young people there is also a dedicated website MyMind.org.uk

I am soooooooooo pleased to be able to report that electronic prescriptions are again working!

Please follow this link if you need a note for work if you have been off work due to coronavirus.

Due to technical issues for the last 2 days we have been unable to send prescriptions electronically to your nominated chemists. Prescriptions are at reception. Where possible these will be collected by your nominated chemist. Apologies to any affected patients- but technology has let us down.

We are dong our best to continue a full service, but already have been affected with lower than usual staffing levels. We are making plans to try and continue to provide a full service- Dr Griffiths provides some information on what you might expect.

Thought this would be useful as I know there are lots of children who are worried about Corona virus

Following guidance we are operating a telephone triage service.
If you are concerned you have symptoms of Covid19 please DO NOT contact the surgery but follow NHS111 advice.
