We are looking for a local person to join our Outpatients Programme Board to support the development of outpatient services.

More than 100 healthcare professionals and specialists from across the region have come together to help develop an improved way of delivering urgent and emergency care services.

Clinical leaders from across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire have come together to call for a ‘radical redesign’ of local urgent care services.

Since our last update in October, doctors and local health leaders have continued their work considering what services the population in Weston-super-Mare, Worle and the surrounding areas needs in the future and how they can best be delivered.

On 3 December, local doctors and health leaders provided a further update on the work they are progressing to consider what services the local population needs in the future and how they can best be delivered.
