Barnet Participation Summit

Discover ways to stay healthy and have your say about health and social care in Barnet.

Calling all Barnet residents - this is an event for anyone who uses NHS services, such as a GP, or social care in Barnet. Do you want to find out more about how you can feed back on, shape and influence health and adult social care services in your area? And would you like to learn more about how you can stay well and connect with other people and groups in Barnet?

Booking is essential.

There will be stalls and talks from community groups, health and care services:

• You'll hear about what's on offer to help you to stay fit and healthy.
• Some of the groups are looking for volunteer patient representatives, health champions and committee members. They will explain how to get involved, have your say and improve services.
• You can also find out more about joining People’s Voice and apply to be on Barnet Council’s Involvement Board if you have experience of adult social care in Barnet.

Whether you want to have your say, hear about Barnet’s health and care services, are interested in volunteering, or are just curious to learn more, join us for a fun afternoon out. Let's get healthy and heard in Barnet!
