Healthwatch County Durham and Healthwatch Darlington are hosting a number of information and listening events about vascular services in County Durham. We have been asked by NHS England to facilitate these events to capture the views of patients and the public about improving the experience of services.
You will be able to hear from and share your views directly with NHS staff, including vascular consultants. More information about the changes and the benefits to patients will be given at the events being held across County Durham and Darlington on the following dates:
• Thursday 17th January, 5-7pm
at Spennymoor
• Wednesday 23rd January, 5-7pm
at Stanhope
• Monday 28th January, 5-7pm at Durham
• Wednesday 30th January, 5-7pm
at Darlington
• Wednesday 13th February, 5-7pm
at Consett
• Wednesday 27th February, 5-7pm
at Barnard Castle
The events, while directly impacting patients who may need to access vascular services (for treatments, procedures and surgeries), are also available for any member of the public who would like to attend. Decisions on changes to services may also impact on family, carers and friends of a patient.
To register your interest in attending one of the above events or for more information, please contact Healthwatch County Durham by calling 0800 304 7039 or emailing healthwatchcountydurham@pcp.uk.net
