#Empowerlution at Haughton Thornley Medical Centres and the local neighbourhood

Haughton Thornley Patient Participation Group and all the staff at Haughton Thornley Medical Centres would like to thank Jon Rouse, Chief Officer at Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership for coming on 6th September 2017 and see for himself some of the great work going on in the practice as well as the local neighbourhood. There is much for us all to celebrate and at a time when austerity is making things very tough with difficult decisions to be made by everybody, it is nice to see a group of people - patients, carers, members of the public, managers and clinicians coming together to show what is best amongst us and what else we can do together. If you would like to know more then feel free to contact speakers via twitter or you can email us on htmcpatient@nhs.net or contact the Patient Participation Group on htmcppg@gmail.com.
