Are you Deaf, deafened or hard of hearing?
Join our focus group on Tuesday, 22 October at Civic Centre, Queen Elizabeth Drive, Pershore, WR10 1PT.
Find out more about how we are helping people who are Deaf, deafened or hard of hearing in Wychavon.
Wychavon District Health Collaborative (WDHC) is a group of people and organisations working together at a local level to meet the needs of the communities they serve.
We want to help people to remain well for longer. We can do this by making sure all communities have access to support and services which help us to be well and prevent an increase in the severity of their needs.
Wychavon is the largest district within Worcestershire.
As we have many differing communities across a large geographic area and with the need to remain informed and affect change at a local level, we have established three place-based working groups.
These groups are made up of local organisations and Primary Care Networks (groups of GP Practices also called PCNS), who really understand their communities.
