About this event

The Engagement Leads Network is an opportunity for anyone involved in Healthwatch engagement to learn from each other and share good practice.

The topic for this meeting is ‘making the most of community networking opportunities’.

Healthwatch Darlington will share their approach to community networking and showcase the mental health network that they have set up and now receive funding to host. They will lead a discussion on how we can identify opportunities and develop them to give more people a voice and make a difference.

You’ll be able to hear from other local Healthwatch about their engagement approaches, what worked, what didn’t, and any tips for success. You can also share your own successes and challenges and gain the support of your colleagues and the meeting hosts.
