NHS Health Improvement Team have a working relationship, supporting Neighbourhood Networks through health information sessions. Many of this content is broken down into interactive formats to ensure everyone is included and the activity is meaningful. It is also important to get feedback for future delivery of health topics.
During the last period of review (2020/21), engagement sessions were restricted and this time it was important to engage and obtain feedback from these seldom heard voices.
The session included a short presentation then it was broken down into an interactive session which enabled everyone to access priorities information in a picture format. This enabled participants to take their time and make choices of what mattered to them and their community.
Partnership working was the key to this event being a success. Due to the number of people attending and additional support required, staff from NHS Health Improvement (South) and officers from the Community Partnership Team worked alongside Neighbourhood Networks staff.
