Members of the ICB's board had an insightful visit to various locations around Lancashire yesterday to see the fantastic work being done to reduce health inequalities.

Non-executive members Jim Birrell and Sheena Cumiskey met with communities in Burnley, Morecambe and Heysham, where some impactful partnership work is taking place.

The Lancashire place team arranged for the travelling cohort to visit Burnley General Hospital and the Down Town community shop to meet members of Burnley Together Partnership, Calico Housing and our Primary Care Network (PCN) and Integrated Neighbourhood Team leads to discuss how we offer support to our residents.

In the afternoon, the board members met with members of community and volunteers at Stanleys Community Centre in Morecambe, and members of the local PCN at Heysham Health Centre where they heard how joined-up working is improving health and care for the local populations.

Thank you to the community groups and volunteers at Down Town and Stanleys Community Centre for being part of this valuable visit.
