Heart Beetz

Surrey Heartlands has launched a new Heart Beetz campaign to help families choose the right NHS service

With all health services remaining busy, Surrey Heartlands Health and Care Partnership has launched a new campaign to help people know which service to use if they need treatment or advice. This campaign supports schools to develop a Surrey Healthy Schools approach to health, wellbeing, inclusion and achievement by providing information for parents/carers.

At the centre of the campaign is a new animation, featuring the Heart Beetz, which tells the story of how the band have been battling with illness and various mishaps. Inspired by their own experiences the Heart Beetz have released a track about getting help from the right place if you’re unwell or injured.

When the Heart Beetz drummer Ted’s asthma flared up, he spoke to his GP on a video call and she asked him to come to the surgery so she could take a closer look, he even got an appointment in the evening, after rehearsals.

The animation talks about the role of NHS111 online (www.111.nhs.uk) and the NHS111 phone service (calling 111) and how it can join people up with GP, minor injury and A&E services, depending on where people need to be. It also encourages people to think of their High Street pharmacy when they need advice and over-the-counter medicines and only to use A&E for medical emergencies so Emergency Departments can prioritise helping the most critically ill patients.
