Full details below: \n \nDate:                     Tuesday 9th April 2019 \nTime:                    10am-12.30pm (refreshments and lunch will be provided) \nVenue:                 Flitwick Football Centre \nYour views matter – we want to hear about what works and what doesn’t and how people think cancer services can be improved.  Having a voice and sharing your experiences could make a big difference. \nPlease book via info@healthwatch-centralbedfordshire.org.uk or talk directly to a member of the team on 0300 303 8554 (limited places available). \nParking is available at the venue and we can help with transport if needed – please contact the office direct. \nIf you cannot make any of the events advertised – you can take part in a short online survey here and share your views about what would make health services in Bedfordshire better. Two surveys are highlighted\, one is a general survey about health and social care and the other is more condition specific.  If you would like to share your views on cancer services please complete the condition specific survey.
