A patient network set up to give people a voice about health services celebrates its first birthday this month and is hoping more people will join it.

NHS Bradford Districts Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is inviting members of its patient group network to an event on Friday to mark the anniversary and encourage new people to get involved.

Dr Richard Haddad, patient engagement lead for Bradford Districts CCG, said: “Bringing our practice groups together as part of a wider network means they can strengthen their voice within the CCG and influence how we do business, making sure patients’ needs are always centre stage.”

The event is from 11am to 12.30pm, at the Carlisle Business Centre, Bradford. To book a place, visit surveymonkey.com/s/PtNetworkJune6, e-mail: engage@ bradford.nhs.uk or call (01274) 237369.
