'Health and Social Care in East Sussex: Towards the new normal'

On Thursday 14^th July, we will be holding our annual event and everybody is invited to join us.

Date: Thursday 14th July 2022

Time: 9:30am - 2pm

Where: Uckfield Civic Centre

Health and social care services in East Sussex are changing.  

2022 will see the formation of the Sussex Integrated Care System (ICS), which will commission GP, dentistry, pharmacy and other services. Similarly, hospital and care services seek to evolve to deal with the delays in treatment and care that built up during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Will these changes benefit the public and patients? Will they make services more responsive locally or remote? 

Healthwatch East Sussex is inviting anyone with an interest in the future of health and care to join us at our 2022 Annual Event to help co-design what the ‘new normal’ for services across our county might look like. 

Join us:  

• as key speakers from the NHS, Local Authority and Voluntary Sector share their perspectives on the future of local services  
• we review what the public have told us over the past year  
• to share your views via Q&A and break out sessions.  

As services plan for the future, there has never been a more important time to hear the voice of the local people in what those services should look like and work with Healthwatch to influence change.
