Healthwatch Hertfordshire has been commissioned by the Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board to explore public views and experiences of using online GP services and bookings.
HENRY is a fun 8 week programme that provides healthy starts for your little ones (0-5 years)
The Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board (ICB) is undertaking a pilot of implementing blood pressure monitoring in a selection of dental practices and opticians across Hertfordshire and West Essex. The idea is to increase the detection of hypertension by having blood pressure monitoring available in settings other than GPs and pharmacies. We are holding two focus groups with members of the public to explore their thoughts on having blood pressure monitoring available in dental practices and opticians. We want to speak to Hertfordshire Residents over the age of 40 who do not have a diagnosis of hypertension. They will be able to attend focus groups on 13 August and 15 August between 6pm and 8pm. Attendees will receive a £10 voucher for contributing to our research. Sign-up Here Alternatively, residents can contact: E: research@healthwatchhertfordshire.co.uk | L01707 275978 to register their place.
