Big Chat 8

This summer’s Big Chat was a chance for us to feedback in a ‘you said we did’ style session about a number of schemes and initiatives we discussed with residents at previous events. In addition, we asked people for ideas and opinions on how we can balance the books and manage our finances in this challenging time for all NHS organisations.

The event was held in Formby and included updates from our CCG team on topics ranging from our transformation programme, Shaping Sefton, to our repeat prescription ordering scheme and changes to Care at the Chemist. There were table based discussions, where attendees were asked for their views, along with a Q&A surgery for anyone who had questions about their local NHS.

We welcomed Southport and Formby's new community services provider, Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust who took over the running of these services on 1 May 2017. Members of Lancashire Care’s team described how the provider is responding to the feedback we gained from residents during our community services review in 2016 and to the vision in Shaping Sefton. Lancashire Care also spoke about what local patients and residents can expect from them in the future.
