Patricia McDade, Mid Ulster NHSCT Locality Team Lead said: “We have seen just how successful the Community Navigator service has been in the Causeway area, having recently completed a three-year pilot project, and we are now delighted to see the initiative being rolled out across all four locality areas within the Northern Health & Social Care Trust. We look forward to working with Age NI to develop this service for the Mid Ulster area.”
Anita Kelly, Community Navigator for the Mid Ulster area said: “I am delighted to be involved with this new project and look forward to linking up with the many active community and voluntary groups in the area, promoting their services and activities.”
“Age NI are delighted to welcome Anita to their team. She will signpost anyone over 50 years old to services and activities that are available within the community,” said Elaine Curry, Age NI Partnership Manager. “This service will continue to encourage everyone to actively age well and will help ensure holistic person-centred care continues to grow momentum across all sectors within Mid Ulster, and indeed across the whole of the Northern Health & Social Care Trust
area.”
