Wandsworth LINk and the Furzedown Project are jointly arranging a meeting as part of the current NHS Wandsworth Consultations about GP Services, the future of Primary Health Care, and the setting up of Polyclinics in the South Wandsworth area.

Come and discuss these issues on Monday 27th July 2009 at Mitcham Lane Baptist Church, 230 Mitcham Lane, London, SW16 6NT at 6.00 to 7.30pm

Your views are being sought on the plans being presented by the local NHS, and we would like to invite you to come along to the above meeting and participate in the consultation. Refreshments will be available at the meeting and the venue is fully accessible.

Are your GP services especially important for you?

If your local GP services are especially important to you, for example, if you have a long term health condition, or disabilities, or care for someone, then we would like particularly for you to be at the meeting and have your say.

Plans to be presented

There will be presentations from Dr. Seth Rankin, a GP from Wandsworth Medical Centre, and Di Caulfeild-Stoker, Chief Operating Officer of Community Services, Wandsworth, on the plans for the development of services, followed by time for questions and comments from the audience.

This consultation by NHS Wandsworth is part of the shaping of local health services in London over the next 10 years, and the full documents and survey of your views will be available at the meeting.
