If you would like to help, please read the attached leaflet carefully and answer the
following questions:
1. What do you expect from the crisis team as a carer or family member?
2. What would you like to see on the leaflet?
3. What, if anything, is missing from the leaflet?
4. Would you like to see a one page quick guide to the Crisis Team?
5. Any other comments?
Please send comments to membership@nottshc.nhs.uk
The closing date for comments is Monday 4 September 2017.
We will then invite a small group of carers to meet to discuss the comments
received and work together to improve the leaflet.

Healthwatch News
Healthwatch are currently asking everyone in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire to let
them know what influences your healthy living choices.
If you would like to complete their very short survey (should take no more than 2
minutes) please click here. The survey will be open until the end of August.
Healthwatch Nottinghamshire and Healthwatch Nottingham now have approval from
both the City and County Councils to go ahead with a merger, which will hopefully
be achieved before April 2018. Both Healthwatches have already worked closely to
successfully deliver a number of joint projects. A merged organisation would better
reflect emerging changes in the delivery of services across the city and county. It
would also deliver economies of scale, leading to a more efficient use of resources,
and enable a greater impact to the benefit of all the communities they serve.
