NHS Board meets in-person ... and the public are invited

The gathering, which takes place from 10am-noon at the Tweed Horizons Centre near Newtown St Boswells on Thursday, October 6, is the first since March 2020, at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, not to be held via Microsoft Teams video technology.

Karen Hamilton, chair of NHS Borders, says the board is committed to building on strong links it has with patients, staff, local communities, disadvantaged groups and other stakeholders.

She added: “We would urge the public to come along to our meetings so they can hear first-hand about the work being carried out across our services and what we have planned for the future.

“The public’s needs and views are at the heart of the design and delivery of local health services so it’s important that they hear for themselves how these are being developed.”
