Increasing NHS App Usage

We are looking for Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) providers to join an exciting initiative to boost the use of the NHS App and promote digital inclusion in our communities.

We are seeking organisations to join our project board during the discovery phase and potentially continue into the implementation phase. We currently hold our project meeting weekly, for an hour, on a Wednesday morning.

Your input will be invaluable in helping us understand how best to engage with communities and promote digital inclusion.

Who we are looking for:

VCFSE contributors who will act as a representative for the voluntary community sector and come to meetings ready to share ideas and opinions, ask questions and raise any challenges or concerns.

What we can offer:

£20.00 p/h in which the representative will attend workshops with the One Care Project Manager to provide recommendations to support the project (up to 1 hour a week for the next 6 months).

To express your interest, please email grace.mander@onecare.org.uk by 30 September 2024

 

Public Contributor – Perinatal Mental Health Lived Experience Advisers

The NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board (BNSSG ICB) is working to improve community-based perinatal mental health services for women. These are services provided during pregnancy and through the first two years of their child’s life.

A key part of this work is designing a new service, which will cover Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire, and appointing an organisation to run this service.

We are looking for two women or birthing people to become Lived Experience Advisers to support us throughout the design and appointment processes.

These advisers will join the Perinatal Mental Health project group. We are looking for people who will come to meetings ready to share ideas and opinions, ask questions and raise challenges or concerns. This work runs from October 2024 until April 2025.

Being an adviser will involve attending meetings that are:

• every fortnight
• up to two hours long
• held online or in an accessible location (this may vary across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire)
• attended by up to ten members of the project team

The roles attract a recognition fee of £20 per hour, plus travel expenses. If you are on benefits and payments will affect what you receive, we can pay you differently, such as with vouchers.
