Hertfordshire Health Matters

We invite you to join us and find out about the dangers of diabetes and the simple steps we can all take to avoid a diagnosis.The event is being held as part of Diabetes Prevention Week and has been jointly organised between members of local patient participation groups across North Hertfordshire and Diabetes UK.

Over the course of the evening we will look at how we can all take action to help prevent type 2 diabetes and potentially save 10 years of our lives and £10 billion for the NHS.

The STP hosted an interactive event on Wednesday (27 Feb) which saw midwives, health visitors and early years professionals from across Hertfordshire and west Essex working with mums, dads and commissioners to shape future maternity services.
 
The ‘Whose Shoes’ workshop in Hatfield welcomed a mix of staff from all three maternity hospitals in our patch, representatives from Hertfordshire Parent Carer Involvement, West Essex Maternity Voices Partnership, Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust, family centre workers, health and social care commissioners from Hertfordshire and west Essex. Gill Phillips, from Whose Shoes, who facilitated the morning, said: “The energy in the room was fantastic and there were so many insightful comments and different perspectives about what maternity services should look like.”

Views gathered at the event will be combined with points raised at co-production workshops already held at each acute hospital as part of Hertfordshire and west Essex Local Maternity System’s development.
