Hi,Does anyone live in East London/ Essex area?

[Zari0800]

I had an accident at work a few weeks ago, at work.

I fell from a height whilst sitting on a medical stretcher / bed landing on my sacrum. The legs collapsed throwing me to the hard floor.

The pains and spasms are increasing across the whole body as well as high BP for the past few weeks .I am trying to access council support services, any advice on who I can approach. I called Cab yesterday and they were not helpful.

thank you for your valuable time and advice in advance if I don’t get a chance to reply to you.

You could either get in touch with your GP and get them to refer you or ring your local Council and ask them to put you in touch with Social Services in your area. I live in East London and my council is Tower Hamlets but yours could be different.

You could try ringing your GP and asking for an appointment with a Social Prescriber. They can help you find the right services and refer you to different services.

Hi,I think that's something you would need to speak to your GP about. Especially if you have high BP.

I have been to the GP they have referred me for 24 hr BP monitoring so have to wait for the letter.

What services can I access via the GP social Services referral ? Can someone elaborate pls, thanks
