National Healthy Start Scheme.
Worcestershire County Council are working to increase the local sign up to the National Healthy Start Scheme.
Currently only 56% of eligible families in Worcestershire are signing up to claim their healthy start vouchers for free healthy food and vitamins. We are working to better understand why sign up is low, what barriers are preventing access to the scheme and hope to identify how we can support families to access this great resource.
As part of this work they have created a survey, directed at the public to understand their thoughts, knowledge and experiences related to Healthy Start.

Abbey Medical Practice has recently signed up to Evesham dementia action alliance to become recognised as a ‘Dementia Friendly Practice’.
To support this aim, Abbey Medical Practice is committing to an Action Plan that will make our Practice more accessible, as well as raising awareness of dementia and the range of support that is available locally.
