Cheadle Medical Practice is looking for community champions.
• Champions are people of all ages and backgrounds who voluntarily give their time to work with their GP practice to support people within the local community.
• Champions help the practice to meet the non-clinical needs of patients, for example, organising or finding social, creative and other enjoyable activities to help people who may be feeling isolated, lonely or learning to live with a long term condition.
• They complement the work of GP practice staff.

An interesting concept
Free labour or community service?
Is this just Cheadle Medical Practice doing this type of outreach work?
I think part of the message is missing at the end.
Agree with John’s comment.
Don’t know if this has been advertised before but I’m surprised at the short notice for the training days!
