NHS Trafford launched the Trafford Talks Health network in January 2010. The network is made up of hundreds of local people who want to keep up to date with local health issues and to have their say about the services available for people in Trafford.
Anyone can join the network: it’s completely free and you can sign up for as much or as little involvement as you like. Membership is free of charge and members can cancel their registration at any time. Members' details are treated confidentially and not shared with third party organizations.
Here, two members of the network share their experiences of being involved:
