All Health and Wellbeing

Do you knit? Would you like to learn? Or would you just like to join in for a chat and a cuppa?

The Macmillan ‘Knit and Natter’ group meets every other Tuesday afternoon at the Macmillan Information and Support Centre at North Manchester General Hospital and is open to everyone affected by cancer.

It’s an opportunity to have some fun, learn new skills and support each other in a friendly and relaxed local setting. All materials and refreshments are provided.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of all health and social care in England. They are given powers by the government to register, monitor and inspect all health and care services, and they are interested to hear your views on the care you have received in a health and social care context.

Go along to their public listening event on Tuesday 27 October 2015 about Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, meet their inspectors and share your experience of the services and care provided in the last year.

Autistic Society Greater Manchester Area are looking for new members to join their Trustee Board.

This is an opportunity to contribute to the direction and strategic development of a local charity, supporting people with autism.

Enthusiasm and commitment are crucial, a knowledge of autism is less important than being a team player and playing an active role while in post.

This is an voluntary position, but expenses are reimbursable. The minimum time commitment is four Board meetings a year at the centre in Stretford.

Interested in keeping a diary?
NHS Manchester Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) are looking for patients and/or their carers to take part in keeping an experience diary. The feedback provided will provide valuable insight into your experience of using local NHS health and well-being services.
