Come and join us next month for the third Way Forward engagement event with the NHS North East Lincolnshire CCG and Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLaG) where we will share our ideas for safe, sustainable and quality health, care and wellbeing services for North East Lincolnshire.

Wednesday 7th March 1pm to 4.15pm

Humber Royal Hotel, Grimsby DN34 4LX

We will present information about national, regional and local developments in health and care and the CCG’s commissioning priorities for 2018; and NLaG will share progress on patient quality, performance, finance and emergency care.

There will be a number of discussion groups to choose from including:

• Carers’ support services - we will share results from the consultation on local carers support services and telecare services, discuss our plans and hear your views and feedback.
• Social Prescribing - aims to improve health and wellbeing for people with certain long-term health conditions.  This new service will be launched in April this year.  We are keen to share our developing plans and take on board your feedback.
• Hospital services - join our consultants Mr Bellini Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT); Mr Thomas, Urology; and clinician from Haematology.  We will provide an update on the latest developments for these services, discuss our future plans and hear your views.
• GP Services Extended Access – Extended Access is being rolled out nationally.  Help us understand better the needs for extended access in primary care locally and help further shape our plans.
• Urgent Care - we will discuss current activities and plans for urgent care in NEL in the context of severe pressures on the NHS locally and nationally.  Specifically focussing on the development of an Urgent Treatment Centre for North East Lincolnshire.
• Housing Options - join us to discuss what the local authority needs to consider when planning local housing options for people in later life such as design, tenure and housing with care models.

There will be a question and answer panel with local NHS health and social care leaders including Dr Peter Reading, NLaG Chief Executive and Dr Peter Melton, CCG Clinical Chief Officer.
