Bridlington Health Forum is inviting residents, patients,and carers to an open meeting at Bridlington North Library, Martongate between 10am to 12 on Wednesday 1st June.
The Forum wants to hear your views, experiences, and expectations of local healthcare as the NHS introduces its farthest-reaching changes in over a decade.
Health Forum Chair, Dr Anthony Clarke said:
There are unacceptable gaps in local healthcare provision. We will be sharing our concerns with every NHS organisation planning and providing health services for Bridlington at a conference later in June.
“We need to ensure local needs are understood and planned for within the new NHS Integrated Care System, which goes live on 1st July.
“We have asked our MP, Sir Greg Knight, if he will attend this vital meeting to plan and bid for improved local health services.”
Investment in new Technology
Dr Clarke added:
“There are plans to invest in 160 new Community Diagnostic Hubs nationally.
“These promise to revolutionise the way illness and poor health are detected and treated in future. We must ensure that Bridlington Hospital, serving East Riding of Yorkshire’s largest town and surrounding coastal communities, is considered as the ideal location for a Diagnostic Hub.
“NHS services in our town desperately need additional investment to provide local access to modern diagnostic services and to improve local healthcare.
“Please join us on Wednesday 1st June to have your say on the future of our NHS services. There is no need to book, please just turn up at Bridlington North Library at 10am.” said Dr Clarke.
