Before Covid-19 we regularly held information street stalls on health services in Hammersmith and Fulham. We are now working from home but we continue to attend CCG and other NHS meetings, we contribute to H&F Health & Well Being meetings, as well as meetings of the Health Scrutiny panel. We are also doing work with Healthwatch and with local disability campaigners and working in the area of improving access to mental health services locally. We take an active part in our GP participation groups, and we have set up task working groups to look at the impact of digital first consultation, on the impact of Covid-19 on women, and on mental health services and on working with our GPs.
