Hold the date - EMVY Forum, 26 June

In discussion with the EMVY Steering Group it has been suggested that the next full EMVY Forum should focus on the changes to the Health and Social Care system and how this might affect groups working in the youth sector.

Suggested topics include:

  • Public health – understanding the role of public health in health protection and prevention activity, changes as a result of public health transfer to local authorities from PCTs and particular health inequalities relating to young people
  • Mental Health – overview of mental health services for young people in the East Midlands
  • HealthWatch – the role of HealthWatch and opportunities for engagement with youth groups to ensure the needs of young people are linked into health commissioning priorities – including HealthWatch’s new role in scrutiny of children’s wards in hospitals.
  • Personal Budgets – the role of personal health and social care budgets

To help us plan the next EMVY Forum, can you please let us know:

  • Is an event focussed on health & social care of interest to you? (and if not what would you like the focus to be)
  • Are any of the focus areas listed above of use to you?
  • Are there other aspects of the Health and Social Care system that you would like to know more about / engage with that are not listed above?

Please email all your comments on this to emvy@one-em.org.uk.
