Winter Ready - West Lancashire

A West Lancashire partnership, including West Lancashire Borough Council, West Lancashire CCG, West Lancashire CVS and Primary Care worked together over the winter months to help mobilise and support the local communities to be prepared for winter.

Patients were identified using a data analysis tool called Nexus as being high risk of severe complications if they got COVID-19. GPs wrote to those identified with a recommendation to contact the Winter Ready team to help them to improve their overall health and reduce risks of serious illness. A communications campaign ran alongside this to encourage all members of the population to utilise the service.
