Sandwell People Panel: 2 March

February 19, 2024

Black Country ICS are hosting a people panel to join the conversation about health and care in Sandwell.

The people panels are a place that local people can bring forward conversation topics or any burning issues about health and care in Sandwell. Some of the past conversations topics have included access to GP services, the cost-of-living impact on health and wellbeing, urgent and emergency care, green spaces, patient participation groups, working in partnership and communication, to name a few. If it’s important to you, we want to know about it.

We will also bring forward topics such as the NHS Joint Forward Plan, and proposals on data sharing through Shared Care Records to better identify and support people most at risk of certain medical conditions.

We will, as always have a Community News section where people or organisations can highlight information that would benefit the community, such as group meetings or events, involvement opportunities, support services, celebrations etc. You are more than welcome to bring any information or leaflets you may wish to share.

The more people who join the conversation, the better, so we’d be most grateful if you could please help us to spread the word with friends, neighbours or any networks you might be involved with.

Date: Saturday 2 March
Time: 1pm – 4pm
Venue: Friar Park Millennium Centre, Friar Park Road, Wednesbury, WS10 0JS
