Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust's Living Well Service
One third of the population in Cheshire and Merseyside live in the most deprived 20% of neighbourhoods in England. Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (CWP) are helping to address health inequalities in the region by:
- improving access to care through the Living Well Buses
- target identified high deprivation areas and underserved communities across the region
- provide on-the-spot vaccinations, physical health checks, wellbeing, and mental health support
We're proud to provide the Trust with 3 self-drive units, enabling NHS staff to drive to locations and provide clinical services.
Client Testimonial
"EMS Healthcare have developed a mechanism that enables us to get right in to seldom heard communities. The mobile unit provides a very flexible and versatile opportunity for people to get support and we would recommend any other local health system looking to meaningfully engage with people in the right place to consider a similar option."

Improving access to services closer to home

The mobile health clinic provides a safe and clinical environment in accessible locations, helping to improve access to a range of services:
- drop-in childhood vaccinations
- sexual health support
- wound care
- GP services
Client Testimonial
People haven’t been calling ambulances. They’ve said that they haven’t gone up to A&E just because they know we’re here and they can come along and they can get the healthcare that they need here. Having access to the unit has been amazing for our service, it has enabled us to help reduce health inequalities by being able to see the most vulnerable of patients that can't always access the service.

Mobile clinic in the community
This van can make a difference
1 in 8 men in the UK will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.
Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance, The Christie NHS Foundation Trust and Greater Manchester Integrated Care Partnership are working together to talk to men over the age of 45 about their risk of prostate cancer and offer PSA blood tests on board a mobile health clinic, #ThisVanCan.
With the risk of prostate cancer increasing to 1 in 4 for black men, This Van Can is particularly aimed at engaging with black communities. EMS Healthcare are supporting the project by:
- Providing the van
- Supplying the phlebotomist
- Identifying locations to engage with the project's core demographic
Client testimonial
"Using a mobile unit will help us explore how we can address health inequalities, by offering a flexible space which can directly reach into underserved areas and enhance access to community care services. We also hope that our shared approach to using the mobile unit will offer insights into the value of teams working together to address health inequalities."
