Announcing our new app for #volunteers, friends & family supporting vulnerable people in the community. It’s about #teamwork.
Vulnerable people don’t ask for help, discover their needs and leave nobody behind.

500 deaths & many more long & frightening waits for ambulances, possibly with no mobility, food or water. It won't change soon but you could get there first. Ambulance services need your eyes on their patient, your mum, dad, friend, neighbour. Register: careandrespond.com/emergency…
ALT Image text says: "We are working with the NHS to make friends and family aware when someone has called 999 to avoid people waiting alone, and provide the ambulance service will valuable information to help them respond."

Great working with you folk!
Not just health passports. Use careandrespond.com to set up your family, friends and neighbours network and join theirs. You never know when you may need each other. Great to have @WelshAmbulance on the development team. #simplycareandrespond

Our contribution to #RareDiseaseDay is the first release of Care & Respond, designed in partnership with the Rare Disease Implementation Group and other NHS partners.
#RareDiseaseDay @rarediseaseday, @GeneticAll_UK, @WalesGenePark, @rarediseaseuk
It's #RareDiseaseDay
A new app is being developed, funded by @WelshGovernment, to help those affected by rare or complex medical conditions, like the Swan family.

The #mentalhealth impact of #COVID19 has been huge. The amount of people experiencing depression has more than doubled in some countries compared to before the #COVID19 pandemic. Time to act.

Are you an unpaid #carer? Last year we found out 64% of unpaid carers were caring for 50 hours or more a week. Has this changed?
Fill out our survey it will only take 15 minutes 👇 carers.org/our-social-care-c…

Nice one @NamaraNorman
"Just because we have dementia doesn’t mean we can't hear or understand all that goes on around us."
An important message for everyone, and especially in places like hospitals. Small things can make a huge difference.

Use CHAI apps to help your organisation to routinely assess, monitor and support the mental health of your staff/volunteers and patients/clients. Use CHAI stats to understand training & support needs and put #MentalHealth front & centre. Vulnerable people don't ask for help.

Before #COVID19 19% of non-fatal disease burden in @WHO_Europe Region was due to #MentalHealth and substance use conditions, costing some 3% of GDP. We can change that in the #COVID19 recovery ahead, where #MentalHealth needs to be front & center #RethinkingHealth

@CHAI_Community is also built on a multilingual platform (available in Cymraeg/Welsh shortly). Your team can switch between languages. This applies to NHS and Social Services connecting in. Let us know if you need other languages for your staff, volunteers, carers or family.

Our app is built on a multilingual platform. It will soon be available in Welsh thanks to the kind support from @HywelDdaHB

These films will be available in both @CHAI_LongCovid (for people who can use tech) and @CHAI_Community (for people needing help with tech) very shortly.

Thank you Agor - the films are looking amazing and could really help people feel they are not alone and there is some light at the end of tunnels

If you support people who are digitally excluded, or who can’t self report #LongCovid or other chronic conditions to their GP, then the same service mentioned here is in @CHAI_Community. We think many people are suffering in silence at home.

Together with the @WelshGovernment, we're proudly supporting and funding @CHAI_LongCovid @HywelDdaHB from the @waleshack!
📱Their web-based app helps local health services & patients manage #longcovid by reporting symptoms and by signposting them to the latest best practice.

This is also available in @CHAI_Community. The NHS needs the support of local community groups and services to help people suffering from #LongCovid and other chronic conditions. @NAVCA @scvotweet @WCVACymru @NICVA @long_covid @LongCovidKids
15 Jun 2021
This was fundamental in the design of our app. Both NHS AND community support services for #LongCovid are signposted to the user based on their reported symptoms and location.

We encourage parents/carers of children under 16 to use the #LongCovid tracker in @CHAI_Community. Up to 3 children would attract the minimum fee chaicommunity.com/chai-commu… If you can't afford this fee please let us know and we will try to help. @LongCovidKids

This service is included in @CHAI_Community for volunteer groups, friends, family and carers who are helping vulnerable or digitally excluded people. Also help with any chronic conditions, malnutrition, loneliness or even shopping.

Use the app so we can tell your local NHS how many people in your area have #LongCovid. Link your symptoms diary with anyone (GP, clinic, best friend). Participating NHS services send you local advice based on your symptoms and postcode

Serious roundtable discussion yesterday regarding the negative impacts of the pandemic on older people of which there are several.
Older people have born the brunt of the devastating effects of the disease itself but there are many other aspects.

Give vulnerable people a voice in the NHS. “In the NHS.. They are just unheard”, @DeanEggitt bbc.co.uk/news/av/health-572…
@CHAI_LongCovid is also part of @CHAI_Community for volunteers, friends, carers & family (with GP access).

Good luck in this important venture. Many vulnerable people who have symptoms are simply missed through standard referral processes!
