As part of the Fiveways week of community engagement, North East Lincolnshire Care Trust Plus (CTP) and the LINK (Local Involvement Network) will have a stall at Freeman Street market on Friday, December 11 offering free blood pressure checks and lots of information about how people can get involved in local health services.
Members of the public are being encouraged to come along and see how health and social care has evolved over the years with local pictures and stories depicting how things have changed. There will also be free tea, coffee and mince pies, a raffle and giveaways.
The community engagement team will be available to answer questions about how people can get involved by joining Accord, a new community membership body for North East Lincolnshire that lets members have a say in how NHS money is spent. Accord was launched in June by the CTP to offer members the chance to shape health and social care services now and in the future. It now has over 2000 members.
Jeremy Baskett, assistant director for community involvement and engagement at the CTP, said: “We’re holding this stall to encourage local people to get involved in being at the forefront of current changes in the way health and social care is provided locally.”
