MENDIP INTEGRATED HEALTH & WELLBEING - WEST HUB
Health Connections Mendip is a health and wellbeing service available to patients. Patients can talk to a health connector at the surgery to find out about local activities, support and services available, and can also arrange one-to-one appointments to speak to a Connector. During these appointments a Health Connector will listen to your health story and assist you with setting health-related goals which are meaningful to you. Health Connectors also support you to make positive changes that last. You can access the service by t: 01373 468 368, e: mendip.healthconnections@nhs.net or visit us at: Health Connections Mendip.
