Medway Wellbeing Navigation Service
The Wellbeing Navigator Service gives you access to a trained Community Navigator, whose role is to help you navigate through health, social care, and voluntary sector support services.
The Service offers free and impartial information, advice and guidance, to help you get the assistance you need. We can carry out holistic assessments with individuals, their families, and carers, helping them to find the right opportunities locally.
