Meeting Thu 11th April & Folk Train social trip

By
We'll be meeting next Thursday 11th April from 6 - 7:30pm at the Old Bank Building on Hanover Street in the city centre. 

THIS MONTH'S SPEAKER...
We're really lucky to have Dr Hayley Gorton back to talk with us about her work. Hayley is a researcher and community pharmacist. She is coming back to talk to us about her work on community pharmacy supporting people with their mental health. Her work focuses especially on suicide prevention and pharmacy. She will tell us more about the work she has done since she last visited us two years ago.

FOLK TRAIN SOCIAL TRIP - THURSDAY 25TH APRIL
All group members are invited to our first social event of the year - a trip on the Folk Train from Manchester Piccadilly station to Glossop.  The train will leave at 6:59pm and you'll have the option of arriving back at Piccadilly for either 9:54pm or 10:21pm.  We will cover the cost of the return train ticket, food from a local takeaway, a soft drink and the donation for the band. Please let me know via email if you are planning to come along so I have an idea of numbers.

We've always been concerned about the impact that this move will have on carers and service users in terms of increased transport times. A representative from the Trust came to our meeting last month to update us on plans for transport and the Trust's latest newsletter contains the following update on the service user and carer transport sub-group: "The group last met on 6 February and it was decided that another visitor questionnaire should be undertaken to make sure that we make the right  decisions about transport.  It was also agreed that more engagement and       communication with service users is necessary and  the service users and carers who attend the meetings will support this....
