COVID-19 - updated information - 19 February 2020
There have been no new confirmed cases of Coronavirus (now called Covid-19) across Sussex.
PHE have contacted people who might have had close and sustained contact with any individuals with COVID-19 as a precaution to provide them with health advice about any symptoms in case they become unwell. These individuals have been advised to “self-isolate”. This means they should stay at home and avoid contact with other people as a precaution. It does not mean they are ill and people who have had contact with these individuals do not need to take action.
People living across Sussex who have not been contacted by PHE are advised they should go about their daily routine as usual. There is comprehensive advice available at www.gov.uk/coronavirus for anyone who is concerned or wants to know more.
NHS services are open as usual across Sussex and measures are in place to ensure the safety of all patients and NHS staff while also ensuring services are available to the public as normal.
On advice from the Chief Medical Officer, the risk has been declared as "moderate" - a level which allows government to plan for all eventualities but that ultimately, that the risk to individuals remains "low".
Everyone is being reminded to follow PHE advice to:
Always carry tissues with you and use them to catch your cough or sneeze. Then bin the tissue, and wash your hands,
or use a sanitiser gel.
Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after using public transport.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
Avoid close contact with people who are unwell.
SignLive Video Relay service is now available for our Deaf British Sign
Language (BSL) users living in Sussex.
The free to use app connects the Deaf caller to a fully qualified BSL translator, before connecting to the NHS Sussex wide
engagement team. Deaf BSL users can now feedback on services, take part in our BSL translated surveys and give views on
public consultations. There will be a regular opportunity to speak with someone every Thursday from 2-4pm or you can
contact EHSccg.yoursay to arrange a time convenient to you.
More information, including a BSL video clip explaining the service, is available from www.brightonandhoveccg.nhs.uk/get-
involved/give-feedback

Primary Care Networks Since the NHS was created in 1948, the population has grown and people are living longer. Many people are living with long term conditions such as diabetes and heart disease, or suffer with mental health issues and may need to access their local health services more often. To meet these needs, practices have begun working together and with community, mental health, social care, pharmacy, hospital and voluntary services in their local areas in primary care networks. Primary care networks build on the core of current primary care services and enable greater provision of proactive, personalised, coordinated and more integrated health and social care. Clinicians describe this as a change from reactively providing appointments to proactively care for the people and communities they serve. Where emerging primary care networks are in place in parts of the country, there are clear benefits for patients and clinicians. Refreshing NHS Plans for 2018-19 set out the ambition for CCGs to actively encourage every practice to be part of a local primary care network so that these cover the whole country as far as possible by the end of 2018/19. Primary care networks will be based on GP registered lists, typically serving natural communities of around 30,000 to 50,000. They should be small enough to provide the personal care valued by both patients and GPs, but large enough to have impact and economies of scale through better collaboration between practices and others in the local health and social care system. Find out more through case studies from across the country where primary care networks are already making a difference to staff and patients. Watch a short animation that explains the concept of primary care networks (PCNs) and how this new way of working enables health and other services to work together to provide better access for patients.

HRH The Duke of Cambridge and football legends champion mental health on Emirates FA Cup Third Round weekend
Public Health England’s Every Mind Matters and the Heads Up campaign, a partnership between Heads Together and The FA, have teamed up to encourage football fans to take simple actions to look after their mental health.
In an historic first, all Emirates FA Cup Third Round matches played on the weekend of 4th & 5th of January were delayed by one minute to urge fans to ‘Take a Minute’ for their mental health. While the initiative was aimed at all football supporters, it’s widely recognised that football is a uniquely powerful way to reach men. Of the 15 million football fans in England 69% are male. 1
Research shows just under half of men (45%) who have experienced early signs of mental health concerns in the last year, have never taken self-care actions to manage it (compared to 31% of women). 2
To help tackle the issue, a powerful one-minute film has been developed with narration by HRH The Duke of Cambridge and featuring famous faces from the world of football, including Frank Lampard, Harry Maguire and Alex Scott.
The film was played in stadiums and broadcast to millions of football fans across the country. It encourages fans to complete the Every Mind Matters’ ‘Your Mind Plan’ tool to receive a personalised plan of self-care actions to deal with stress, boost mood, improve sleep and feel more in control. Search Every Mind Matters create your own personal mental health action plan.
