Listening Event: Annual Survey Morpeth Riverside
We are running our annual survey 2020 during February and March this year, asking you about the NHS, health and social care you received in the last 12 months – it might be a new year but your experiences from 2019 still matter. Health services include hospital services, GPs, dentists, pharmacists, mental health and ambulance services. Social care is care in the home or in a residential or nursing care home.
By telling us about the care you received and what’s important to you, you can help us set our work for the coming year so that we can be more effective on your behalf.
Let us know what went well and what could be improved and together we can help make care better for everyone in Northumberland.

Cancer Patient Event: Morpeth
Cancer Information and Engagement Northumberland
The Northumbria Cancer Patient and Carer Group would like to invite cancer patients and carers in Northumberland to share their experiences and ideas – what is working well in your area? What needs improving? There will also be a mix of organisations at the event offering advice and support.
The Northumbria Cancer Patient and Carer Group is made up of patients, carers, health professionals, voluntary group representatives and others affected by cancer. It’s objective is to improve cancer services and support throughout Northumberland and North Tyneside. The group is supported by Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust which consults with the group to gain opinions on new service developments, information leaflets and questionnaires. The Northumbria Cancer Patient and Carer Group is not a cancer support group, but it does have very good links with local support groups and can put you in touch with the right people.
This event starts at 10.00am with refreshments, and lunch will be available from 12.00pm.
You can also visit an event at these locations in Northumberland:
Monday 3 February: The Roundhouse, Ashington
Wednesday 19 February: Seaton Delaval Community Centre
Wednesday 11 March: URC, Rothbury
Thursday 26 March: Hexham Mart
No booking required. For more information about the events or how to give your feedback if you can’t get to one of the events, email: info@ncpcg.org.
