Health, Social Care and Well Being
The Health, Social Care and Well-Being Network consists of voluntary organisations, service users and carers with an interest in either health, social care or well-being.
The Network meets quarterly, and also publishes a Newsletter (Network News) on a quarterly basis, which contains the report of the Event as well as other useful information, and news contributed by members of the network.
In order to keep Network members up to date on news that impacts the sector, we have an email contact list, to which we send regular email updates. If you would like to be added to this list, please contact Anne Isaac, for more information. Information included within the bulletins can be found here.
