Your local NHS is working to improve care services for people who have had a mini stroke (known as a Transient Ischaemic Attack or TIA) or a stroke.
A mini stroke (TIA) is a warning sign that someone may be at risk of having a full stroke. Anyone who has symptoms of a mini stroke should be seen by a healthcare professional within 24 hours.
The TIA service is currently available Monday to Friday in some of the local hospitals and NHS North East London is now launching a weekend service which they want to make sure meets the needs of local people. They also want to understand what people know about the risks and symptoms so that they can improve the way they share information.
Please complete the short online survey which is open to Redbridge residents. This survey can be completed by anyone, whether they have experienced a stroke or not.
The survey will be open until the end of the day on Friday 28 July 2023.
You can also print a copy of the survey out and post it to using the freepost address (Stroke survey, Freepost NHS North East London), drop it off to any of our offices (locations are on the survey) or email it over to us.
If you have any questions or you need the survey in a different format please email nelondonicb.nelcommunications@nhs.net or call 020 8221 5500.
Lots of people will be travelling abroad this year. In a new blog, Dr Shreya Singhal, a junior doctor who has worked in infectious diseases and general practice, shares her top tips for people looking to travel this summer.
This handy guide includes tips on how to travel safely and minimise risks to your health. It covers vaccinations, general health measures, diseases to be aware of, and sexual health.
We are also reminding people it is important to check your destination before you travel and be prepared by staying up to date with the latest outbreaks and events.

 We are looking for Community Health Champions who would like to be more involved and support us in engaging with our communities. This involves raising awareness and promoting health messages, joining us at local events and inviting the Public Health team and local services to speak to your community groups about relevant health topics.
We currently have volunteering opportunities available at some of our community events addressing social isolation and loneliness at Loxford Polyclinic, Hainault Forest Community Association and the EYPaD Centre in Ilford (childcare experience and enhanced DBS required at this venue).
If you’re interested in any of these opportunities, you can find more information here or contact sonia.lard@redbridge.gov.uk
