Neighbourhood Health Watch is the brain child of Dr Peter Aitken, who could see that communities already do a lot to help each other but that it would be a good idea to connect and share those ideas. I met today with Dr Aitken and Dr Sarah Robens for an update on this scheme that is now spreading to many communities,it just takes a few volunteers who are willing to work together to make a difference, a supportive GP and police community support officer.
Norman Lamb, Department of Health Minister is supportive of their work and wrote an article on this issue for the Guardian
