This Workforce Strategy sets out our approach to ensuring we have a health and social care workforce that delivers care at the right time; in the right way; in the right place; by the right person, with the right skills and values. It will act as a guiding framework for THT and the organisations within it to support and develop the health and social care workforce in Tower Hamlets. This strategy is not designed to replace or supersede the inter-organisational strategies of THT partner organisations, but instead to support their direction setting so that organisational workforce strategies demonstrate alignment with THT integrated workforce priorities.

With the pandemic impacting our everyday lives we want to make sure that parents and young people are aware that we are still here to support them. During the national lockdown we are still here to care for babies, children and young people. The lockdown allows you to leave home to get medical care or treatment and we have created safe environments for you to access the care you need when you need it. If your child needs ongoing care, gets unwell and you don’t know what to do or you need urgent and emergency care please don’t hesitate to contact us. Call your GP or call 111 to get advice on what to do next. Can’t decide what care you need for your child. Read our parents’ guide to accessing services or call 111

The Together Cafés provide a welcoming, safe and therapeutic space as alternative to other crisis service such as A&E. The service aims to equip people with the skills they need to reduce their immediate anxiety, formulate individual self-directed support plans and provide information / advice around the local services and resources that may help them moving forward.

At our most recent THT Board meeting on the 7th May, partners discussed numerous examples of how strong partnership working, innovation and commitment across the borough have contributed strongly to our local Covid-19 response.
