Big Chat 4

Date Exercise Ended - Tuesday, November 18, 2014

Called 'strategy into action', this event focused on how we used people's views and experiences from previous Big Chats, Mini Chats and other public engagement activities to finalise our 5 year strategy for improving services. Held on 18 November 2014, it was a chance to talk more with people about how we intend to achieve our vision for better, more joined up care, which is provided as close to people's homes as possible. During workshop sessions, we asked attendees what they thought about this 'locality' model of care and how it might work for them.


Mini Chats

Date Exercise Ended - Tuesday, June 10, 2014

These are more focused events that give people the chance to hear about our emerging health and transformational programmes and give their ideas about how they could be further shaped.


Commissioning and IVF policies

Date Exercise Ended - Monday, April 7, 2014

We asked for views about our updated commissioning and IVF policies from 6 January to 7 April 2014. It followed a joint review with CCGs across Cheshire and Merseyside of these policies to ensure they reflected advances in science and take account of the latest medical innovations in drugs, treatments and technology.

Big Chat 3

We joined forces with Sefton Health and Wellbeing Board for Big Chat 3 to talk about the work we do together towards improving health and wellbeing in the borough. It was also a chance for people to hear how their views from previous Big Chats had been used to help develop our joint Sefton Health and Wellbeing Strategy - the overarching, borough wide plan that sets out the shared priorities of partners involved in health and social care - as well as how they were beginning to inform our CCG 5 year strategy.


Big Chat 2

Date Exercise Ended - Thursday, July 25, 2013

This was our first Big Chat after becoming a statutory body on 1 April 2013. The event focused on unplanned, or urgent health services. The event took place on 25 July 2013 as we were beginning to design our 5 year strategy for improving health and wellbeing. The views and comments we gained from Big Chat 2 contributed to how we took this work further.


Big Chat 1

Date Exercise Ended - Monday, June 18, 2012

We held our inaugural Big Chat in summer 2012, as we were preparing to become a statutory organisation. It was a chance for people to find out more about us, as their new commissioner of local health services, as well as the wider changes to their local NHS due to the new Health and Social Care Act.
