Health and Wellbeing events at Pennard Court are huge success

Two very successful Health and Wellbeing events took place in January at the assisted living facility, Pennard Court in Twerton.  These were set up as a collaboration between St Michael’s Surgery, the Public Health team, B&NES vaccination team, and The Active Way.
 
The sessions offered a range of services to those residing on site who may be visually impaired, deaf, and have learning disabilities. The aim was to encourage the uptake of vaccinations, cancer screening, learning disability health checks and healthy lifestyle advice in a safe and welcoming environment. Across both events, many vaccinations and health checks were completed, along with cancer screening arranged.

Following very positive staff and patient feedback, the team are evaluating future work at Pennard Court and other Learning Disability Care Homes.

Thank you to all those who supported these fantastic events.
