Essex Wellbeing Service expands health and social care support

Priority Digital Health has been selected to join a five-strong alliance of specialists on a mission to deliver health and social care support to more than 4.5 million residents in Essex.

The alliance of Priority Digital Health, HCRG Care Group, Age Well East, and the Terence Higgins Trust, led by Provide CIC, forms a unique combination of private, social enterprise, and voluntary sector organisations.

Together, they will support the delivery of the Essex Wellbeing Service (EWS) for at least the next five years.

EWS provides health and social care support to Essex residents aged 16 and over who are registered with a GP.

This includes help to quit smoking, social isolation support, weight management, or support with day-to-day needs.

And it is powered by Priority Digital Health’s Priority Platform, a case management system that digitises lifestyle services bookings; volunteer sign-up and management; and referral or self referral for support.

In addition, Priority Digital Health is driving and managing the uptake of EWS services to patients across Essex through integrated communications.

“Here at Priority Digital Health, we’re fuelled by a shared passion for whole body wellness and the belief that prevention is better than cure,” says Alison Meadows, joint chief executive of Priority Digital Health.

“This holistic approach allows us to design and deliver leading-edge digital healthcare products and services that are person-centric and in line with ever-changing digital trends and healthcare needs.”
