Harlington Hospice is excited to announce a partnership with MyWishes<\/a> to launch the Digital Wellbeing Hub, for this year\u2019s Hospice Care Week. This innovative offering provides a unique platform that seeks to empower and improve the overall wellbeing of people living in and around Hillingdon.<\/p>\n

The new \u2018Wellbeing Hub\u2019 is now available for all Hillingdon residents; it hosts newly created content to better engage with the local community. By integrating modern, hospice wellbeing content alongside more generalised wellbeing content it is hoped that a symbiotic bridge between the two areas will be created. It is also hoped that by providing the general public with engaging hospice wellbeing content prior to the need for receiving care, the transition to hospice care will be easier and less daunting in the future.<\/p>\n

The wellbeing hub stands as a pioneering initiative that empowers people to enhance their wellbeing in a holistic way with their own unique wellbeing journeys. To enable this, the platform allows for users to set personal goals and accomplish tasks that align with their individual wellbeing aspirations.<\/p>\n

The core aim of this project is not only to attract new people to the wellbeing hub but also to reach those who may be unaware of the extensive services offered by Harlington Hospice. It is important to note that the wellbeing hub is not exclusively focused on Harlington Hospice\u2019s services, but rather it serves as a public facing community service and resource. The platform also efficiently signposts residents to a number of other local organisations that can support residents with their wellbeing.<\/p>\n

Future development <\/strong><\/p>\n

Harlington Hospice and MyWishes are actively seeking individuals to provide feedback about the site’s content and functionality. Research, collaboration and validation has taken place throughout the project between different members of the team and service users.<\/p>\n

“Just to say a big thank you to you and your team for doing this. I am finding it much more convenient for me as I can choose the time of day when I have the most energy.<\/em>” – Feedback provided by a current, Trupudio service user after she was granted early access.<\/p>\n

Further improvements and development will be directed by feedback and insights provided by the local community.<\/p>\n

Tanya Willis, Wellbeing Manager at Harlington Hospice, expressed the organisation\u2019s commitment to individualised care and wellbeing, \u201cAt Harlington Hospice, each individual matters to us, and we work with every person so they are able to shape their own care. This includes their wellbeing. We\u2019d be grateful for your feedback on the wellbeing hub and welcome any ideas for new content<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Accessibility and user-friendliness were key focus areas when developing the hub and accessing the site is very straightforward and only takes users a few minutes to register. When registering, a Hillingdon postcode needs to be added in order to access Hillingdon specific content. The resident then needs to select the ‘My Wellbeing’ tab from the menu on the left hand side, which brings them to the wellbeing hub and its resources.<\/p>\n
