The Healthwatch Northumberland Conference 2019 is at The Phoenix Theatre in Blyth on Wednesday 16 October. The Conference will include listening workshops, films and guest speakers. The event is free and there’ll be an ‘information buffet’ providing information on local health and support services, a free raffle, plus lunch and refreshments will be provided. This is a chance for people to share experiences with those that provide them and find out what’s available locally. ‘Come and join in the community conversation about your local health and social care services’.

The Village Surgery will be using the clinical system ‘SystmOne’ which allows integrated care with other healthcare organisations who also use the system, such as hospitals and district nurses, to help improve patient care.  To find out more about how SystmOne affects your care please follow the link below.
