Opportunities for experienced, independent Lay Members to join Hammersmith & Fulham CCG’s Governing Body

Passionate about patient and public engagement?

Looking for an NHS role where you can make a difference?

 

The CCG has two opportunities for experienced, independent Lay Members to join Hammersmith & Fulham CCG’s Governing Body.

Local individuals with strong links to public and patient engagement are sought.

As a member of the CCG Governing body, Lay Members are key individuals in the team that ensure the CCG exercises its functions effectively, efficiently, economically, with good governance and in accordance with the terms of the CCG’s constitution.

 

In taking decisions as part of the Governing Body, they help ensure that:

– the interests of patients and the community remain at the heart of discussions and decisions;

– the CCG commissions the highest quality services, maintaining a consistent focus on quality, integration and innovation;

– decisions are taken with regard to securing the best use of the public money;

– the CCG, secures health services that are provided to our local population in a way which promotes the NHS Constitution, improves individuals’ health and wellbeing, supports them to keep mentally and physically well, to get better when they are ill and, when the individual cannot fully recover, to stay as well as they can to the end of their lives;

– the CCG is responsive to the views of local people and promotes self-care and shared decision-making in all aspects of its business; and

– good governance remains central at all times.

 

Specifically, we are looking to recruit two lay members in Hammersmith and Fulham CCG, to start immediately.

 

The closing date for applications is 5pm, 7 August.

“We need to look after the nation’s lungs…” – Youth Asthma & Air Pollution in Hammersmith & Fulham

Image result for yhff

For #HealthyLifestyles month, we have a special episode dedicated entirely to young people, air pollution, and asthma resources across Hammersmith & Fulham.

 

Asthma is one of the most common chronic conditions affecting adolescents, with approx 800,000 young people affected in the UK.

As an increasing health concern for young people across London, asthma education and resources are an incredibly important issue to cover.

 

Young H&F brings together youth organisations, businesses, local government, schools, funders, and the wider community to create opportunities for young people.

We want a happier, safer, and healthier Hammersmith & Fulham! 

To continue the conversation about young people and youth services throughout H&F, we have started our very first podcast series, Change the Narrative.

 

We’ll be hearing about asthma awareness, resources, air pollution and local responses, as well as the work schools, health providers, youth orgs, local charities and more are doing to support young people with asthma and those concerned with air pollution across the borough!

 

Each month, we’ll be sharing these episodes to raise awareness around our five areas of focus:

  • mental health,
  • education,
  • healthy lifestyles,
  • youth justice,
  • employability.

    We will be featuring guests from across our network:

  • young people,
  • youth workers,
  • councilors…
  • people who care about our Hammersmith & Fulham community.

 

Tune in to Change the Narrative, and find out how we’re all working together and how you can get involved!

HostNation Refugee befriending

Do you work with asylum seekers or refugees who may be lonely living in London?

 

We offer a befriending service to adult refugees who are socially isolated, spend too much time alone and don’t have enough to do.

We connect them to our volunteer befrienders – all screened and checked Londoners with a passion for the city and goodwill towards refugees.

The idea is a ‘friend’ who can help them participate and experience a more positive side of the city.

They commit to meet once or twice a fortnight over 3 months but many (80%) become firm friends.

 

Our criteria is: 18+, asylum seeker or refugee, lonely, speak reasonable English, stable (mental health/housing), social and curious, keen to practice their English and experience more of London.  They must also live within the M25 as HostNation only operates in Greater London.

 

If you know someone who fits this please tell them about us. This takes about 10 minutes with a secure connection to fill out the web referral questionnaire and consent to us holding personal data which ideally needs to be done together with the personal being referred, so they fully understand what is being offered and can tell us a bit about themselves and their interests.

 

To view/ download Referrals Leaflet 2019, click here.

To read more about “What is HostNation?”, click here.

 

 

Here is the link to the online referral page https://www.hostnation.org.uk/refer

 

We have over 100 unmatched befrienders across London’s boroughs waiting for your referral!

 

If you want to contact us before making a referral email info@hostnation.org.uk and to find out more, visit our website https://www.hostnation.org.uk/
