Pathways
Although there are many NHS services available to people in Wirral, there are no clear, simple pathways directing users to the referral mechanism or the criteria for access. Healthwatch Wirral is working with Wirral CCG to promote services to ensure patients can access care and support earlier and closer to home. These pathways have been developed to help promote and improve the access to services in partnership with the service providers and the contract teams. The independence of Healthwatch ensures a non-biased approach and enables relationships to be forged thus creating trust enabling Healthwatch to become a ‘critical friend’ in ensuring positive outcomes for vulnerable Wirral people.
Seeing The Armour – Moving Forward From Shielding
We have heard from people in our community that it’s been hard for some of us to really know what to do if you have been shielding and feel vulnerable.
This is a simple resource to help you reflect and plan. It also provides you with some simple messages, key contacts and information you may want right now.
This resource can be printed you may also want some additional support to go through this.

Dementia Wellbeing in the COVID-19 pandemic
NHS England has produced a resource to help people understand adjustments that may be made to dementia pathways during the pandemic. It is aimed at clinicians but can also be used by carers of people with dementia.
The last two pages are especially helpful as they include links to support organisations for people with dementia and their carers.
You may also find it useful to read our ‘Dementia Pathway’ resource, which is available in the GAIT Toolkits section under ‘Pathways’.
