Find full story at the WYPartnership website
West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership (WY HCP) is all set to run an area wide ‘Together We Can’ campaign this winter. The campaign started in Calderdale and Kirklees is being rolled out across West Yorkshire to help people access health and care services at the right time and place.
The campaign encourages people to choose well and to opt for convenient self-care, where safe to do so during the winter months.
If everyone ‘chooses well’ it could really make a difference to already stretched services. Together we can make a real difference.
The campaign has an easy to navigate website [togetherwe-can.com]. Here you will find help and advice and tips for keeping well this winter, as well as other useful information on how to stay healthy.
Together we can protect each other this winter. Together we can make a real difference so please:
