The NHS Needs  – NHS Volunteer Responders

NHS Volunteer Responders is a new group that will carry out simple, non-medical tasks to support people in England who have been asked to shield themselves from coronavirus because of underlying health conditions. They will be used by healthcare professionals to make sure people who are highly vulnerable to coronavirus (COVID-19) are able to stay safe and well at home.

Coordinate My care

In a medical emergency, how would you like to be treated? Would you prefer to be cared for at home, or in a hospital? Are there treatments you would rather avoid?

Coordinate My Care (CMC) is an innovative NHS service that records your wishes and then shares them, electronically, with all the medical professionals who will be involved. So they can put your wishes at the centre of your care.
