The Rochdale Care Organisation, which runs Rochdale Infirmary and community services, held a small Eid celebration on Friday (21 May) to mark Eid ul-Fitr which is a celebration that takes place at the end of the Holy month of Ramadan.
Many staff were on annual leave when Eid was celebrated on Thursday 13 May, so this event for Rochdale Care Organisation staff was held a week later when they would be back in work.
The event was attended by Imam Abdul Hakim from UKIM and Madina Masjid in Rochdale, who was welcomed by Northern Care Alliance NHS Group Chairman, Prof Michael Luger, and Rochdale Care Organisation Medical Director, Dr Shona McCallum.
Getting help portal available for parents and carers Date published: 21 February 2021
Health Visitor with patient
A new confidential high tech service has been set up by a joint team of local health and care staff to offer support to parents, carers, and children and young people who live in Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale (or are registered with a GP in the area).
The service offers help and advice on a range of health related issues giving up to date relevant information or where applicable setting up direct appointments or helping to access other more appropriate services.
It is run by a multiple group of healthcare practitioners working together as one team, allowing a joined up service for all children, young people and their parents and carers. Using the portal is easy to use and users will only need to tell their story once, rather than to different professionals, leading to better care and a better experience.
