Spotlight on: Crawley Kashmiri Woman’s Group
This Group enables Kashmiri women to come together in respectful fellowship, to share ideas and support, through a common heritage.
Crawley Kashmiri women catch up on day-to-day topics over a traditional lunch prepared by the group. There is also provision of information, advice and pro-active support and advocacy available.
Healthwatch West Sussex went along to one of the meetings to talk to the ladies about their stories and experiences of local health and social care services.
The stories and views that people chose to speak about covered a range of topics and
included:
- Accessing and time allocation of GP and hospital appointments as they do not always fit
- around other family members commitments.
- Communication needs to be clearer from health care professionals.
- Repeat prescription and medication reviews can be difficult as there is not normally
- time during the appointment with GP.
- 111 service has been very helpful.
