FIND THE RIGHT SERVICE

The NHS comes under pressure all year round, especially A&E departments. We want all patients who go to A&E with serious illnesses or injuries to be seen and treated as quickly as possible. With your help we can achieve this. Think. Do you really need to go to A&E?

Alternatively you can access medical assistance by calling 111. A triage nurse will assess your situation and take appropriate action. This could simply be by offering advice or where necessary by making arrangements for you to be seen by a doctor.

Out-of-hours services are generally busy so please think carefully before asking to see a doctor and only do so if you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery re-opens.

In a genuine emergency you should call 999.  Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an emergency.  

There is a strong voluntary sector is Essex including faith groups, parishes, well established third sector groups and communities themselves. There has already been a strong reaction from the people of Essex stepping forward to help and we need to encourage and support all these local actions. Recent events mean too that we have had to do this at pace to ensure support will be available for people.

One key approach has been Essex County Council working in partnership with Facebook, local Facebook Admins and Community Groups to develop a social media campaign that seeks to build community resilience and community through the Essex Coronavirus Action Group.

It is a largely Facebook based initiative and can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/essexcoronavirusaction/?epa=SEARCH_BOX

Essex Coronavirus Action looks to carry out three core objectives in relation to the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak - PREVENT, INFORM and ASSIST.

PREVENT - The latest NHS-approved advice about how to avoid exposing yourself to Covid-19 and passing it on to other more vulnerable people. Key messages will include:

- Consider your actions

-Basic hygiene advice

- Think of others and be ‘United in Kindness’

- Think of people who may be social distancing and isolated; connect and reach out to your them safely

INFORM - The latest information to debunk the many viral myths on social media about Covid-19. Key messages will include:

- Get your information from Essex Coronavirus Action

- Make the most of online groups

- Keep up to date with official sources of information through this page and join Essex Coronavirus Action group

ASSIST - A local authority-backed mobilisation of local Facebook groups to ensure that the most vulnerable members of Essex and their carers get the urgent help that they need, both practically and emotionally. Key messages will include:

• Share accurate, information and advice
• Support anyone who may be anxious and signpost to Essex Coronavirus Action for up to date information
• Sign up as a volunteer to help people in your community with daily tasks such as
• Helping with:
• Shopping
• Transport
• Being a phone buddy
• Being a Facebook buddy
• Posting mail
• Urgent supplies
• Feeding
• Hydration
• Carer support

Dengie Food Pantry

Befriending Service

As of this morning The Salvation Army Charity shop on the high street has committed to being a drop point for anyone wishing to make donations of food to our food distribution response, Kevin the manager is working along side me in order to work out the logistics of this. We are already receiving requests and are hoping to make our first basic food drops at some point today if not then certainly by tomorrow. We are working hard to get a set of policies and procedures in place to have our church hall open as much as possible for the donation, sorting and distribution of food as quickly as possible.

One of the issues we face immediately is provision of food this week. We have food on order but as you can imagine we need this food to get to us before we can distribute it out. If anyone has any contacts that we could tap into for an immediate response please let me know so we can be in a position where we are able to provide something until the bulk of our food orders arrive.

Many thanks for your work and help in this,

Jon Doyle
Lieutenant
The Salvation Army
Maldon Corps, 12 Wantz Road, Maldon, CM9 5DE

We will be closed one afternoon most months for mandatory training.

If you require assistance please call NHS111 who will be able to navigate your request to the correct service provider
