With one week to go until our virtual ‘Big Chat’ event, health professionals in south Sefton are inviting local residents to register by this Friday, in order to attend.

The NHS South Sefton Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) Big Chat will be held virtually on Wednesday 8 September from 6pm-8pm and is open to everyone in south Sefton. Residents can join staff from the CCG for the event via an online link, which will be sent out to all registered attendees.

As well as looking back at the work of the CCG over the last year, the event will be a chance to get involved and give views during an interactive session about local health and care.

Chair of NHS South Sefton CCG, Dr Pete Chamberlain, is encouraging anyone with an interest to join the event and hear about the important work of the last 12 months, as well as plans for the future.

He said: “We want as many people as possible to join us for the Big Chat, so please do register before 5pm on Friday 3 September.

“Hosting this event in a virtual format will not only keep everybody safe but hopefully enable those who would otherwise be unable to attend to join us online from the comfort of their own homes.

“The event is a great opportunity to meet some of your local healthcare teams, look back at the work we have been doing for your community and give your views on plans for the future.”

To register your interest in attending, please email communications@sefton.nhs.uk or call 0151 317 8456 before 5pm on Friday 3 September for NHS South Sefton CCG.

A separate Big Chat event is also planned for NHS Southport and Formby CCG on Wednesday 15 September from 6pm-8pm and you can register in the same way.
