Local people are invited to hear how health and care services in Bradford District and Craven are acting on what matters most to them, and how well services are performing in delivering effective, efficient and person-centred care.
The Bradford District and Craven Health and Care Partnership Board will meet in public at 10am, Friday 23 May in Scorex House, bringing together leaders from the NHS, local councils, care providers and the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector. The Board makes key decisions about how local health resources are used.
Members of the public are welcome to attend and listen to the discussion. Questions can also be submitted in advance to help shape the conversation.
Matt Sandford, Director of Partnership and Place at Bradford District and Craven Health and Care Partnership, said: “Over the past two years we have been listening to local people and developed a rich and dynamic understanding of what matters most to our communities. You can find out more or invite our partnership to ‘listen in’ to your community group, visit www.engagebdc.com/listen-in-bdc.
“The partnership is keen to work with local people to shape and co-produce the way that services are developed, designed and delivered. The insight we’ve collected so far is key to the development of our Health, Care and Wellbeing Strategy 2025-2035.
“We’ve been told there is a clear desire for inclusivity and accessibility across health services for patients of different backgrounds, specifically regarding language barriers, learning difficulties, disability and LGBTQ+.
“Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, consideration of inclusivity is needed to ensure no-one is left behind in terms of access. For example, ensuring technology improves efficiency of the NHS without blocking the digitally excluded from access.”
