Working in partnership with young people
In December 2017, Patient Board members carried out engagement with over 300 students from the de Ferrers Academy who attended five health awareness sessions. The purpose of the event was to enable students to receive intensive one-hour sessions on health-related topics. The objective was to re-enforce the health-related teaching at the school and for the students to become more conversant of health issues in the future. This has now become an annual event with the next one planned for July 2019. At this year’s event the topics planned for over the two days are:
- Drugs and Alcohol, by the O’ Connor Gateway Trust
- Bereavement, by St Giles Hospice
- Dementia, by Uttoxeter Cares
- Body Image by the YMCA
- Mental Health by the Yes-s organisation.

Useful Websites
The Patient Board decided it would be useful to compile a list of websites covering local health and voluntary services. Their compilation as at February 2017 can be found here: Useful Websites.
Challenges Facing Primary Care Report
During 2016, Patient Board conducted a survey on the Challenges Facing Primary Care and we are pleased to say that the final report and its recommended actions, has now been agreed by the CCG’s GP Steering Group and the Governing Body and is being published in February 2017.
