Warwickshire News Mine

The roadshows will summarise the Director of Public Health’s Annual Report, which is this year entitled Best Health for Older People in Warwickshire.

With an expected growth in the population of older people in Warwickshire, these events will give people the chance to hear about the potential impact of these changes on health and social care and some of the work being done throughout the county to improve healthy living and prevent disease as well as providing a forum to discuss plans for improving the health of local people.
John Linnane, Joint Director of Public Health at NHS Warwickshire and Warwickshire County Council, will do a short presentation on his report, concentrating specifically on the needs of older people.

There will also be a number of stands to have a look round with information on local health services and the chance to ask questions to the Public Health team as well as other health professionals.
John Linnane said: “Warwickshire’s Public Health team gathers a lot of information on health issues in Warwickshire and my report provides an overview of this. This year our roadshows will provide a great opportunity for us to offer information on the report and to get feedback. There will also be a chance for people to hear about some of the services we offer, so that we can improve them.
“We will be hosting six events across the county, so that we can talk to as many people from different areas as we can. This year’s emphasis on older people’s care will help us to shape the healthcare provision for Warwickshire’s fastest growing demographic.”
