The launch of the Healthwatch Salford Network

News - 1 October 2019

To enable more people to have their voices heard we have launched a new project called ‘The Network’ which will enable existing community health support and social groups to have a direct link with us at Healthwatch Salford.

The Network is essentially a communication pathway for groups to raise collective concerns and suggestions about health and care in their area. 

Membership to the Network is free and you may qualify for a small grant. If you are involved in a community group in Salford and would like to find out more about the network and apply, please don’t hesitate to contact Mark in the office on:

0161 960 0318

mark@healthwatchsalford.co.uk

We welcome applications from any non profit group especially those that work with those less heard.

Saliva-based testing for COVID-19 will be used to test the community in Salford, Greater Manchester, in the coming weeks. Working with Salford Council, local health partners and voluntary networks, some people will be invited for a weekly test.
The pilot will explore how regular repeat testing can be made as accessible as possible and will inform how to scale community testing across the country.
