How it works?

• The Forum offers a platform to share information and updates about available services and to foster collaboration and partnership among members.
• It also provides a space to develop a shared understanding of older people’s health and social care needs and to use that insight to influence and shape local strategy and policy on issues affecting older people.

• Meetings are held every 4 to 6 weeks
