We tackle the root cause of health inequalities by providing community-based support, helping people to sustain behaviour change and build resilience.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is challenging at any age, and for adults 50 and over, one of the best ways to combat the symptoms of “old age” is to be educated about ways to stay healthy.
Early Help is the Birmingham Children’s Partnership model of connected support for families and children across Birmingham, and we are leading Early Help work in Edgbaston. This includes emergency support for families during the pandemic.
A full physical examination is a general examination of the body performed by the doctor or general practitioner (GP).
Together with AgeUK Birmingham, we lead the Edgbaston Neighbourhood Network Scheme. Neighbourhood Network Schemes (NNSs) are designed to support older people in Birmingham to connect with individuals, groups, organisations, activities, services and places in their local neighbourhood, and are an integral part of Birmingham City Council’s community social work model.

Maternity Voices Partnerships (MVPs) are teams of volunteers who provide feedback about their local maternity system, facilitated and led by Gateway.

We deliver the Social Prescribing Link Workers Service in GP practices across Birmingham and Solihull in partnership with SDSmyhealthcare and their Primary Care Networks. Social Prescribing allows GPs and other care staff to refer patients to a Link Worker, based at the surgery. Link Workers then work with patients one-to-one, offering direct support and signposting to help them take control of their own health and wellbeing, and helping them to increase their active involvement with their local community.

The Solihull Integrated Lifestyle Service offers tailored support for people who want to make lifestyle changes including losing weight, eating more healthily, reducing stress and smoking cessation. Together we promote self-care and independence, making it easier for people in Solihull to find information and advice, as well as providing specialist support for those who need it.
