What we do
The aim of the service is to improve the health and wellbeing outcomes of women, including women from key ethnic groups, living within Aylesbury and High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire before, during and after their pregnancies.
Women's Community Health Workers and volunteers provide a range of targeted one-to-one, group and community-based activities offering health advice and guidance as well as support to access other services as appropriate. The Women’s Community Health Workers will provide:
- Support: Provide women with opportunities to identify areas for support and cocreate a plan together of how you will achieve these.
- Education: Provide evidence based information to women in both one to one and group settings, enabling them to make evidence informed decisions about their health and care (training will be provided).
- Navigation of the system: working collaboratively with partners to support their engagement of women and actively remove any barriers.
- Gathering and sharing knowledge: Bring together local information pertaining to women’s experiences, to help shape the service and bring about wider system change, ensuring all women have access to equitable services.
