News in Kenilworth

"Follow the rules, play your part and do the right thing for Warwickshire." This is the message from Assistant Chief Constable Alex Franklin-Smith and the county's Police and Crime Commissioner Philip Seccombe today.

The two policing leaders are encouraging residents in Kenilworth and the rest of the county to continue to take seriously the threat of coronavirus and help reduce its spread around the county.

The health and social care organisations within Coventry and Warwickshire are appealing for residents in Kenilworth and other towns in Warwickshire to share their voice on the new Integrated Care Record (ICR) which is due to go live in Autumn 2020.

The Integrated Care Record (ICR) will amalgamate information directly from existing health organisations to produce a consolidated electronic record for each individual. The rational is to create a much more streamlined and structured record for health care professionals to access.
