Monthly free health events programme launched
University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust (UH
Bristol) has launched its monthly health-themed events programme
for 2020.
These free 'Health Matters' events are held for Foundation
Trust members and members of the public to find out more about the
different health conditions or service developments, and ask
questions.
They are also an opportunity to engage with the
hospital other than when just attending an appointment and to
meet UH Bristol staff and governors.
John Chablo and Marimo Rossiter, governors for UH Bristol said:
"These events are a great way to hear more about the work of the
hospitals and for us, as governors, to hear your thoughts and to
ensure that we're representing your needs."
