Homeless and Asylum Health Team
The Homeless and Asylum Health Team offers access to primary health care to socially excluded, marginalised and vulnerable groups.
A full health visiting service is provided to women's refuge, housing association projects, hostels and other accommodation. Health assessments of asylum seekers and refugees are completed to support access to health care for all age groups.
The team is made up of health visitors, a health advocate and a nursery nurse. The team works in close partnership with the Housing Department and other statutory and voluntary sector organisations to provide coordinated care to clients.
Services include:
- health visitors
- child health advice;
- health checks; and
- health activities.
