Last year, NHS England announced Northumberland as one of only eight areas across the country chosen to take a national lead on transforming care for patients as part of the national vision for the future of the NHS.

A new website outlining the vision for Northumberland has been launched – www.northumberland.nhs.uk – and a month-long programme of public engagement activity has begun.

Street engagement teams are visiting communities to talk to people about the future of health and care services and encouraging them to complete an online questionnaire. The teams will be in Rothbury tomorrow, Bamburgh and Belford on Sunday and Alnwick on Friday, February 26.
