are extremely grateful totheParish Nurse
for this.
AsnotedintheTrustees'AnnualReportfor
the period to31December 2019,theParish
Nurse advised the Trustees (in a manner
thatpreserved anonymity)thatmost
interventions involve a mental health
element, evenifthatwasnottheprimary
reason fortheintervention. The Trustees
undertook, therefore,tolook at the
feasibility of employinga[\4entalHealth
Nurse to start to address the needfor
mental healthcareinthecommunity. The
Trustees concludedthatadditional funding
wouldbe required beforethesearch fora

Within days of securing some additional

milestone, asitenabled the CIOtostartto

the community.(ltis understood that the
CIO appointedthe secondMental Health

project.) Helpingtoprovide mental health
supportinthe community had been a long-
term goal from theoutset,butwasidentified
asapressing needbytheParish Nurse, as
shesettled into her role,andbythe
Trustees whoareMinisters. This need was
exacerbatedbythepandemic andis
viewed as along-termneedtobe
addressed.
Using a systemthatpreserves the
anonymityofher clients and thespecific
nature oftheinterventions,theParish
Nurse has kept records that showthat,in
the periodfrom1January2020to31
December 2020,theParish Nurse made
476interventions. These cover:
.health education-144
interventions;
ohealth screening-3 interventions;
ohealth support(short{erm)-12A
interventions;
.
health support(longterm)-169
interventions; and
.healthsupport(the end of life)-

Although the above statisticsarehelpfulin

"Finally, as lockdown eases,ourParish

Long COVID, people scaredtocome outof

accessingmedical services for conditions
