Addressing social isolation and loneliness 

Key partners have come together to produce a social isolation and loneliness dashboard to better under the picture across Guildford and Waverley and to recognise the various roles that we all play in supporting those who feel lonely and isolated. We will use the data to inform and shape our future plans and services.

Social Prescribing

The Guildford and Waverley social prescribing service launched in 2019 and is run by Voluntary Action South West Surrey. The service is designed to support people with a wide range of social, emotional or practical needs and provides the link between health and community by finding out what matters most to the person and supporting them to access local services that can address their needs.

Unlocking the patient discharge process in Guildford and Waverley

Looking at how we increase capacity across the system and enable as many people as possible to be discharged from hospital and home with the right support.

Recruitment fair

In December 2022, Guildford and Waverley Alliance hosted a recruitment fair at the Guildhall in Guildford town centre. The event was a great success, with 14 recruiters from across Guildford and Waverley attending to promote careers, apprenticeships and job opportunities in health and care. The fair offered consultations on skills such as CV writing and interview skills. In response to feedback and interest we plan to host a similar event in 2023.
