We are pleased to work with community groups such as Leagues of Friends. Do contact if you would like to talk about changes around your local hospital. We would love to hear from you.  The committee is pleased to do this on a voluntary basis.  We work with local communities to help provide evidence, resources and information as they work with the local NHS and ICBs on changes on transformations.  Our Chair has written a brilliant case for community hospitals for the BBC on the plans for Teignmouth Community Hospital hereand around the issue of delayed discharges here.  Our recent Chair, Chris Humphris, offers highly invaluable support on a commission basis, for those communities who require a substantial piece of work. Do read Chris's blog below, which illustrates his approach and outcome for the community for the Insch Community Hospital.
