Community Health Event – Saturday 2nd June 2018
The second event in our Community Matters programme is taking place on Saturday 2nd June from 11am to 2pm with a focus on health and wellbeing. South Central Ambulance service will be demonstrating how to do CPR and use the defibrillator and the event is being supported by several other organisations including Getting Heard, a patient advocacy and support charity and Home Instead who work in social care. There will be a large amount of information on many health and wellbeing issues and formal presentations, including one from Chipping Norton Health Centre on how they have engaged their local community using social prescribing, a new national programme from NHS England linking GPs, patients and local wellbeing initiatives. There will also be a health quiz, refreshments and a presentation on a new idea for Aynho residents to join a local health group.
