NHS encouraging residents to have their say about local falls services

[column]

Residents from across the Fylde coast are invited to share their experience of falls services at a listening event on 26 August in Wesham, Lancashire.

This free event is a chance for anyone to share their views on falls prevention services and help make improvements where necessary. The CCG welcomes any experiences of local falls services that a person wishes to share with them.

NHS Fylde and Wyre Clinical Commissioning Group chief nursing officer Jennifer Aldridge said: “We look forward to welcoming residents to this listening event, as we hope to develop our understanding of how residents use services provided to assist those that have fallen.

“It is important that we understand the experience of people using the services to make sure future provision is fit for purpose.”

The FREE event will take place on Wednesday 26 August from 9:00am to 2pm at NHS Fylde and Wyre CCG, NHS Wesham Offices, Derby Road, Wesham. There will be lunch and refreshments provided.

To book your free place and for further information about the falls prevention listening event, please contact the CCG on 01253 956400 or email: [email protected].
