[Closed on 12 April 2010]

This is a survey to identify what design features members of the public and patients would value in the new Cleator Moor Health Centre. It will help to ensure that the views of public and patients are taken into account in the design of the new health centre. It also gives a couple of activities that people might want to get involved with in the future.

You can download and print the questionnaire by clicking on the link below. Alternatively, questionnaires are available in the Cleator Moor:

• GP Practice
• Council Centre
• Library
• Howgill Family Centre

Collection boxes for completed questionnaires are also available in these locations.

Please return your completed questionnaires to collection points by Friday 16th April 2010.

Barrow in Furness Support for Future Services community engagement project

[Closed on 31 August 2010]

NHS Cumbria is keen to ensure that the future development of the community health and social care system in Barrow-in-Furness is informed by the experience and expectations of people living and working there rather than simply the commissioners and providers of services. To that end, it commissioned The Campaign Company (TCC) to conduct a deliberative engagement process that would involve local people.

To achieve this, a series of visioning deliberative workshops were conducted with target groups of members of public, harder to reach groups and community stakeholders that aimed to:
• identify what works well at the moment and what helps people to improve, restore or maintain their health and wellbeing
• develop a vision of what an excellent community health and social care system would like like
• focus on aspirations rather than deficits

Key conclusions and insights from the work so far include the following:
• Barrovians are aware that they currently do not have world class health - they need to be inspired and motivated to take the necessary steps to overcome this
• Everyone knows that unhealthy lifestyles can lead to poor health but the right tools / incentives to tackle this are missing
• There is an understanding that good health is the responsibility of residents and health professionals in partnership.
• People should be provided with the resources and skills to manage their own health
• A seamless health and social care service is of paramount importance to everyone
• Health advice will only be sought from professionals other than doctors and places other than hospitals when there are assurances around expertise and confidentiality
• Having health professionals with excellent interpersonal skills is as important as having qualified and expert health professionals

Closer to Home - North Cumbria

[Closed on 1 February 2008]

Cumbria Primary Care Trust (PCT) has been developing a strategy to provide more health services closer to people’s homes. We have worked together with our key health and social care partners in preparing these proposals for how to do this across the north of Cumbria – North Cumbria Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust and Cumbria County Council.

We have established proposals for a framework for providing more services in primary care and in the community, including the transfer of some services from the hospitals in which they have traditionally been provided. This consultation document explains how this new model of care would operate and how these proposals might be developed and implemented in Allerdale, Carlisle, Copeland and Eden. Importantly, it explains how hospital services in north and west Cumbria would need to change as we move certain services into the community.

Mental Health Services in Cumbria

[Closed on 30 September 2008]

A consultation on further improvements to mental health services for adults.

Mental health services in Cumbria have changed significantly for the better over the past few years. We have seen great improvements in the way people are treated for more severe mental health problems, with increased investment in community services as an alternative to treatment in hospital settings. We have also seen the start of better services for people with common mental health problems.

This consultation takes us one step further to modern, effective mental health services. It asks you to consider changes in adult inpatient services to improve their quality and to make them fit for purpose, given the developments that have happened in community services.

We are continuing to invest more in providing services to people in or near their own homes. This consultation is about changes to inpatient and residential services for adults, which will better support those services and make the best use of the available money.

Health Service in Cumbria - A Rural Perspective

Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment

hazel.hughes@cumbriapct.nhs.uk (Consultations) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 12:03:45 +0000

[Results expected 30 September 2010 & feedback expected 30 January 2011]

In order to provide a good service, NHS Cumbria needs to regularly review the services which we provide, what people living in the county need and how things might change in the future.

This also needs to be done for pharmaceutical services which NHS Cumbria commissions from pharmacies and dispensaries.

We plan to do this by developing a Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA). This will look at how best to deliver the services which the public in Cumbria want and require from their pharmacies and dispensaries.

NHS Cumbria is currently asking people if there are enough pharmacies in the county, if residents feel there is a pharmacy or dispensary close enough to their home and if they'd like other services to be delivered by their community pharmacist.

In order to provide a good service, NHS Cumbria needs to regularly review the services which we provide, what people living in the county need and how things might change in the future.

This also needs to be done for pharmaceutical services which NHS Cumbria commissions from pharmacies and dispensaries.

We asked you what you thought about existing Pharmacy services in the county, and used this, and other information, to draft a Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment document.

This document is now available to read and comment on.

Closer to Home for Children and Families

[Results expected 30 November 2010 & feedback expected 20 December 2010]

We are planning to make some big changes to the way health services for children, young people and families are organised because we think they could work together a lot better.

Before we decide exactly what changes to make we want to find out what is important to you.

When this survey is completed we will give the results to the senior doctors and managers in charge of reorganising these services. They will then make sure that the things that are important to you become part of health services for children, young people and families in Cumbria.
