It's been a busy year, so for the next couple of weeks your Herts Health Matters editors are going to put their feet up and roast some chestnuts on an open fire! So this is the last you'll hear from us in 2018 - but if you want to look back at the achievements of the year that's gone by, you can find our 'You Said, We Did' report on our website by clicking here. We'll see you in 2019!
At the beginning of 2019 we have two important events we would like you to contribute your views and ideas to:
Thursday 17th January 2019 (10am-12.30pm at the Focolare Centre, Welwyn Garden City) - Help us create a long term conditions strategy that helps our population's health. The strategy will set out aims and ambitions for delivering care for patients living with a long-term condition in the area. Click here to read more about the workshop.
Monday 21st January 2019 (10am-2pm at the Longfield Training and Rescue Centre, Stevenage) - The County Council are hosting a workshop to review and refresh their service user and co-production structures and boards. Click here to read more about the workshop.
We look forward to seeing you there!
