Dear all,
Cheshire & Merseyside SHA has asked me to lead on information services to patients and the public. I have been asked to prepare a (short) report covering:
- current provision of information
- identify gaps
- make recommendations for developments
This needs to be done by the end of January - so I need your help!
Apologies for the number of questions - but it should provide us all with a good overview of services in the north west.
Could you send me any information about the way in which services are provided to the public / patients in your Trust and beyond. This may include any of the following
- dedicated posts / service points providing information, including PALs. Contact names etc will be useful.
- information leaflets provided to patients (you can send me examples).
- information on websites - please send me the web address
- health promotion services - please send me contact details as my list is probably out-of-date
- if there are any local help groups that you are aware of - then some examples would be helpful
- if there are any local reports written on this - please send me a copy
- if you are ware of any public library services in this area (other than the work Roshanara has been doing)
- anything else at all!
Happy to receive information by email, post or carrier pigeon.
With many thanks
David
