East Leicestershire and Rutland Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), Leicester City CCG and West Leicestershire CCG are planning to develop GP out of hours and NHS phone support services in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland and commission them from a single provider.
They are keen to understand the views of patients, the public and stakeholders about our plans, particularly what works and what doesn’t work in current services. At the moment phone support is via the NHS Direct number, but a new 111 service will soon be in place. More »

Following the discussions about flooding at the Loughborough Forums held in February, you may be interested in the 'disaster-proofing' workshop to be held this Saturday. It will include short sessions on how to prepare for and what to do in case of flood, fire, power loss, or shortages/contamination of food and water. The event on Saturday, 27th April is at the big church on Thorpe Hill opposite the primary schools (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). It runs from 10.30 am to 12.30 pm and is free of charge, although organisers would like people to book so they know how many to expect. They will be putting on some limited activities for children, as the event is on a Saturday, so if people need to bring children with them, that is OK. A poster promoting this event is attached. Please feel free to forward this information to anyone that you feel it may be of interest to.
To book a place call Julie Harrald on 01509 610584 or email getdisasterproof@gmail.com
