Local residents are being invited to hear about innovative future plans for improving local health and care services at the NHS B&NES Clinical Commissioning Group Annual General Meeting.
The meeting is set to take place on Thursday 20th September at the Somerdale Pavilion in Keynsham.
This year the guest speaker is Cllr Keith Cunliffe, Deputy Leader of Wigan Council, who will talk about how health and care providers in Wigan are working in new ways together and with local communities to improve health standards.
Attendees will then hear from Ashley Ayre, Chief Executive at B&NES Council, and a panel of local health and care leaders.
They will discuss what the Wigan model means for B&NES, how the CCG can encourage people to take more responsibility for their own health and update on plans to join up the delivery of health and care services so they are better coordinated around the patient.
Tracey Cox, Chief Officer at the CCG, said: “Our AGM is your opportunity to meet local clinicians, commissioners and health and care leaders.
“Please join us to find out more about what we do, our challenges and to have your say on our plans for local services.”
The CCG’s annual report and accounts for 2017/18 will be presented at the AGM and Tracey Cox will also provide a review of last year’s performance and key priorities for the next 12 months.
