Do you want to know more about North Hampshire Clinical Commissioning Group?

Dr Hugh Freeman, Chair, North Hampshire Clinical Commissioning Group

We are now just a week away from the first of our Road Shows.   The Road Shows are our chance to share what’s happening at North Hampshire Clinical Commissioning Group.

The NHS reforms have shaken up how everything happens.  GPs and clinicians are now at the forefront of decision making.  Come along to one of the four Road Shows to learn more.

Or click on Operating Plan to learn in greater detail about what is happening in North Hampshire.

At the Road Shows we will answer any questions.  These are changing times and we – as a shadow Clinical Commissioning Group – are still under the guidance of the Primary Care Trusts until next April.

As we move into this brave new world of GP led decision making it is probably good if I share with you some of our priorities for North Hampshire.

• We will be concentrating and working in the following areas to bring about improvements.
• We want to see greater emphasis on prevention and staying healthy.
• We want to improve the management of long term conditions and end of life care. If someone is terminally ill we want that person to choose where they want to die.
• We want to improve services for those with mental health problems and to support carers to help patients remain independent.
• We want to work with our partners in the local and wider community to provide the best quality maternity services.
• We want to improve access to children’s therapies.
• We will share and promote national screening campaigns like those already in use for bowel and breast cancer.
• We will support national immunisation programmes and run our own ‘Stay Healthy’ campaigns.
• And we will also be working hard to improve the first stop in health care – the GP surgery.

Our aim is to keep North Hampshire healthy.  Come along to one of our Road Shows to find out more and to see how you can use your voice to influence local health care.
