Better Care Together

Here are the brilliant team at Westcotes Health Centre and today they became the first GP-led location in #Leicester city to deliver the COVID-19Vaccine. They’ve done a fantastic job administering the #COVIDVaccine to local patients aged 80+.

One of the comments about our £450m proposals for Leicester's hospitals is that they do not include enough new beds. Read our article about why this isn't the case. #BetterHospitalsLeicester bettercareleicester.nhs.uk/news-and-media…

Looking forward to talking with the Somali community on @eavafm about #BetterHospitalsLeicester @Leic_hospital @NHSLeicester
