In February 2018, Healthwatch Bristol worked in partnership with Bristol and Avon Chinese Women’s Group (BACWG) to hold an emotional health and wellbeing event. The purpose of the event was to find out from the Chinese community how local services support their health and wellbeing.
Healthwatch Bristol facilitated two workshops which included discussions around emotional wellbeing, Tai Chi, massage, and lunch. Two interpreters were available to translate and help break down language barriers. The event was well attended - 45 people engaged and 26 people participating in HWB emotional health and wellbeing survey.
The report highlights the importance of community groups and opportunities for social interaction to overcome isolation. The reports also highlights a lack of interpretation services available to Chinese women.
The report has been distributed to stakeholders including Bristol Clinical Commissioning Group, Bristol Health and Wellbeing Board, Bristol City Council, the Care Quality Commission and NHS England.
