Our network
Bringing together local residents and community partners who collectively wish to improve the health and wellbeing of local people, and the delivery of local NHS services.
Our aim is to:
- Meet with other local people and organisations who are creating health in their area
- Celebrate all that is going on within the local community
- Take stock of how relationships between local people, local organisations and the NHS are changing and developing
- Reflect on local experience of NHS services
- Shape a collective vision to build upon
