Our Services
At One Wirral, we work both collaboratively and independently to identify and resource gaps within Wirral by delivering projects and services for communities and health that can improve wellbeing such as support groups for long-term conditions, health literacy discussions, and volunteering opportunities. Take a look below to find out more about them.
Diabetes Prehabilitation
Prehabilitation is the practice of enhancing a patient’s functional capacity before surgery, with the aim of improving post-operative outcomes. Prehabilitation has shown improvements in length of stay, post-operative pain, and complications.
Health Literacy
Health care systems can be seen as complicated, and it’s often those with the greatest needs who require the most support, have the lowest levels of health literacy and therefore suffer from poorer health outcomes and lower levels of wellbeing. It is also important to make sure that individuals are digitally included – in an increasingly digital world, individuals should have access to digital and health solutions, so that it does not impact their access to services.
NHS Flexible Staff Pools Framework
In 2022, StaffBox joined the Flexible Pools framework, which allows a variety of healthcare professionals such as bank, freelance and locum, to work in a flexible way, within their own schedules. Staffbox was one of only 8 tools on the framework.
Women’s Health Network
As a response to the publication of the women’s health strategy, our team identified the need to start a conversation on a more local scale. A workshop was hosted by One Wirral as an opportunity to bring together people and organisations together who have an interest in improving women’s health in Wirral.
TechKnow – Digital Inclusion
TechKnow is designed to improve digital inclusivity and empower Wirral residents to ‘do digital’ their own way, safely. Providing equipment, know-how and support, we can help individuals to use technology to improve their life – from pursuing interests, achieving goals and making human connections that might otherwise be out of reach.
Diabetes Education Review
There are over 21,000 people with diabetes in Wirral. Their long-term condition means that they will all have an increased risk of heart attacks, stroke, cancer, sight loss, nerve damage, kidney problems and other complications.
Bridging the Gap Together Project
Started to help ‘bridge the gap’ for those on the Wirral living with long-term health conditions such as Long Covid or Fibromyalgia - supporting individuals by developing a personalised plan that combines activities and community peer support.
