Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy Workshop Invitation

The Hammersmith and Fulham Health and Wellbeing Board is currently developing its Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy for 2016-2021

 

Through this strategy, and the hard work which will follow, the Health and Wellbeing Board aims to drive forward even closer working between health, social care, the voluntary sector and other partners, improve people’s experience of health and care services and ensure the financial sustainability of the local system into the future.

This process provides an opportunity for all partners across Hammersmith & Fulham to agree collectively how we will work together to improve our resident’s health and wellbeing over the next five years and transform people’s experience of health and social care services.

To inform the development of our strategy, we are hosting a workshop with local stakeholders to discuss collective ambitions for the borough and how we will transform health and care services locally over the next five years

The workshop is an opportunity to hear from senior directors, managers and commissioners and feed your views and comments into the strategy development process.

We are very pleased to invite you to this workshop which is taking place on:

Tuesday 24 May  from 10:30am to 12:30am at
