Gypsy, Roma and Traveller Engagement project
Friends, Families and Travellers and Roma Support Group have successfully recruited and trained 13 health champions for the GRT communities in NEL. After a successful introductory webinar held on 14th May, the champions and project were introduced to members of ICB, Primary Care and Public Health teams. The champions are currently being trained on breast, bowel, cervical, lung and urological cancer signs, symptoms and screening and it is hoped they will be embedded into the NEL community voluntary service at a later date.
CULTURAL AWARENESS WEBINARS – the dates for our Cultural awareness webinar sessions are now live on NEL Training Hub and available to all GP Receptionists and Social Prescribers across NEL! The sessions, delivered by FFT and RSG will showcase the lived experiences of Gypsy, Roma and Traveler communities and offer opportunity to understand how to support them in breaking barriers to healthcare. The sessions will be recorded and shared at a later date and a certificate will be provided for all attendees.
