All Health and Wellbeing

The Care Quality Commission has developed a Group Feedback Form to learn more about the quality and safety of local health and care services in your area.

It needs your support to gather evidence and intelligence, which will be used to help CQC inspectors before they carry out local inspections. What voluntary and community groups tell them will help inspectors decide when to inspect a service and what to look for. It may also help them decide what rating to give the service in their inspection report.

Greater Manchester Academic Health Science Network (GM AHSN) will be inviting applications to its Technology Innovation Challenge on 1 December 2015. The theme for this Technology Innovation Challenge Call is: Assistive Technologies – Reducing Social Isolation to support recovery, health and wellbeing.

In November 2014, the Department of Health (DH), Public Health England (PHE), and NHS England initiated a review of the role of the VCSE sector in improving health, wellbeing and care outcomes. For more information, visit: http://vcsereview.org.uk/about/
