South West London CCG Annual Report and Accounts 2020/21

boroughs are on our website at www.swlondonccg.nhs.uk/Covid An example of how we worked and are still working together, is in Croydon where, with the ‘Croydon BME (Black and Minority Ethnic) Forum’ and ‘Asian Resource Centre’ and other borough partners we held community conversations to give local people the opportunity to put their questions to a panel of experts including Dr Agnelo Fernandes, Dr Nnenna Osuji and Rachel Flowers, Croydon’s Director of Public Health. Over 600 people from our diverse communities attended the first four online meetings, with more targeted engagement sessions held, including for care home and domiciliary staff and Age UK’s Personal Independence Coordinators and Healthy Living team. We have seen the success of this work, with increasing numbers of people from groups of people who were more reluctant or concerned about being vaccinated in the early days coming forward to receive their vaccination. You can help us encourage vaccine uptake by directing friends and family to reliable, verifiable, and up-to-date sources of information, including our website www.swlondonccg.nhs.uk/Covid and our NHS social media channels. An overview of the work in each of our six boroughs from the past year In summer 2019 we published local Health and Care Plans for each of our boroughs. These plans were developed over more than 18 months by local people and health and care staff, helping us to make sure that the plans are centred around the people who use our services, rather than the organisations that provide them. The Health and Care Plans support delivery of each borough’s Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy (JHWS), developed by the Health and Wellbeing Board, to meet the health needs identified in the boroughs’ Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA). Each of our locality executive directors and clinical chairs represent their borough on the local authority Health and Wellbeing Board along with representatives from local NHS acute, mental health and community providers, Healthwatch, community and voluntary sector and other partner organisations. You can read the Health and Care Plans for each borough on our website at www.swlondonccg.nhs.uk/your-area by clicking on the name of the relevant borough and then clicking the Our plans link. 42 | NHS South West London Clinical Commissioning Group
