    #78 Together Towards Cervical Cancer Elimination

    In this episode of HSE Talking Health and Wellbeing Podcast, we explore the important role of community engagement in preventing cervical cancer and the importance of collaboration in work together towards an Ireland where cervical cancer is rare in every community. Joining the discussion are Dr Caroline Mason Mohan, Director of Public Health for the National Screening Service, and Catherine Heaney, Healthy Communities Project Coordinator for Dublin City Community Cooperative. Dr Mason Mohan provides an in-depth look at cervical cancer prevention through HPV vaccination, cervical screening and early treatment, while Catherine shares a unique perspective on the importance of connecting with local communities to drive meaningful behavioural change.     Catherine’s organisation collaborates with the National Screening Service through the Community Champions Health Promotion Pilot Project. This innovative project aims to build the capacity of community health workers, empowering local leaders to implement tailored interventions that encourage participation in cervical screening. By bridging national health strategies with grassroots engagement, the project ensures communities have the tools, knowledge, and support to access life-saving cervical screening services.    For more information visit www.screeningservice.ie or www.hpv.ie.

    #75 Social Prescribing Benefits: GP’s perspective

    In this episode of the HSE Talking Health & Wellbeing Podcast, host Noreen Turley explores the concept of social prescribing with Dr. Sean Owens, a GP and chair of the Climate Health Alliance of Ireland, and Dr. Aleisha Clarke, the HSE National Program Manager for Mental Health and Wellbeing. They explain how social prescribing aims to connect individuals with local community resources to meet their social, emotional, and practical needs and discuss that sometimes it’s not just about medical solutions; it’s about holistic care that considers the whole person moving beyond traditional medical solutions to a more holistic approach to healthcare. Sean acknowledges that integrating social prescribing into primary care requires a cultural shift among healthcare providers. He demonstrates how social prescribing has been successfully integrated into his practice, where link workers have become an essential part of the healthcare team. Aleisha explains that the evidence shows that social prescribing can have a range of positive outcomes, including improvements in mental wellbeing, physical health and health behaviours, and reductions in social isolation and loneliness. Aleisha outlines the referral process, noting that individuals over 18 can be referred by a GP, health care professional or individuals can also self-refer. Once referred, they work with a link worker to co-develop a personalised health and wellbeing plan tailored to their specific needs and circumstances. This individualised support is crucial, as link workers take the time to understand each person's unique needs. Listeners are encouraged to visit the All-Ireland Social Prescribing website https://www.allirelandsocialprescribing.ie/ to connect with local link workers and start their journey toward accessing community supports. This episode highlights the potential of the social prescribing service in improving health and wellbeing, and advocate for continued development of this innovative service in healthcare.
