The objectives of this visit are: 1. To learn about alternative approaches to delivering healthcare to a diverse population. 2. To explore how we could learn from the way primary care services are delivered in Toronto. Relevant areas of investigation would be: a) National policy and legislation b) Local health structures and governance c) Diversity of the BME sector 3. Levels and nature of community engagement We are therefore looking to establish links with groups, organisations and individuals who we can meet and visit while in Toronto. Is anyone on this list based in Toronto and willing to help? Does anyone have any suggestions about groups and/or individuals that we can contact? Suggestions and recommendations are welcome. The visit will take place at the end of May. For information about the Forum, please visit www.westminster-pct.nhs.uk/diversity/bmehealthforum.htm Regards Amjad ------------------- Amjad Taha BME Health Forum Manager c/o Westminster PCT 15 Marylebone Road, London NW1 5JD Tel: 020 7150 8128, fax: 020 7150 8105 E-mail: [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> Website: www.westminster-pct.nhs.uk/diversity/bmehealthforum.htm Please consider the environment before printing this email.
