Westminster City Council, GB supports residents with Community Health and Wellbeing Workers trial
Westminster City Council, GB Health Wellbeing Workers Trial
Westminster recruited four part-time CHWWs for its partnership with Pimlico Health at The Marven. Each CHWW spends one hour per month with 120 social housing residents in Churchill Gardens. These visits identify acute and chronic health issues for treatment through Pimlico Health. CHWWs build trust with patients through email, WhatsApp, and text conversations between appointments. City officials used the Brazilian Family Health Strategy as a model for this pilot.
