The Reading Community Health Champions program is created as a platform to Connect with your community, Inform and provide feedback for your local community and Empower people to improve their heath.
Don’t worry, it is not the role of a Community Champion to:
*Provide medical advice to residents.
*Act as a health expert or enforce Health measures or opinions.
* Not applying personal interpretations to the guidance. If people are in doubt, they can ask for clarification.
However, you can participate to:
* Help circulate Health evidence-based information or advice that is NHS Approved or Public Health approved.
*Ensure that residents in Reading are aware of, knowledgeable about, and up to speed on the information, services and activities that is important to their health and well-being.
*Build the confidence, knowledge, skills and capacity of local people in Reading
*Sharing learnings with other Community Health Champions
