    NEW PROJECT - Beating Heart Failure Together

    We would love to hear from anyone who lives or works in Ipswich and East Suffolk who has experience of heart failure, or who cares for someone with heart failure.

    Go to www.letstalksnee.co.uk/beatinghftogether to find out more and get involved.

    We know the most important voices are those of local people and communities. We want to work alongside residents, patients, carers and community groups to shape how neighbourhood health develops locally.

    Opportunities to get involved will include:

    • Sharing your experiences of care and support
    • Taking part in workshops and discussion groups
    • Helping to design and test new ways of working
    • Joining community insight activities
    • Providing feedback on proposed changes

    Your insights will help ensure services are designed around what matters most to our communities.

    If you would like to be involved, we will contact you with more information and invite you to take part. We are looking to bring people together to work as a group to help shape and improve heart failure information and education for the local community and for health and care staff.

    Together, we can design neighbourhood health support that works better for our communities.

    • Individual Placement & Support (IPS)
    • Mental Health Practitioners in GP Practices – Core Services
    • Physical Health Checks for Severe Mental Illness (SMI)
