Anna Hynes
Policy and Participation Officer - Health and Social Care
I support voluntary, community and faith groups involved in delivering health and social care services and projects locally through the Health and Social Care Network. The network is a place for groups to work together to share information and experiences relating to their work and the local, regional and national picture. We also provide a range of training and events geared towards building knowledge, capacity and contacts for these groups. We have recently set network priorities (including mental health and well-being and disability) and have begun to identify issues within these areas and are finding ways to resolve them. |
