Events

In Summer 2011 VONNE hosted five events across the North East as part of its Stronger Connections; Better Health work programme.  Events brought together volunteers and workers in community & voluntary groups to share learning and shape policy development on new arrangements for Health & Social Care.  The events were attended by over 200 participants and had inputs from members of Clinical Commissioning Groups, Directors of Public Health, and Local Authority Leads for Health & Wellbeing Boards and HealthWatch.  A copy of the report can be viewed here.
