I am writing to invite you to our Annual Public meeting which will take place at 5:30pm on Tuesday 24th September.
This year our meeting will focus on integrated service provision, with an emphasis on preventing knife crime. We are delighted to be joined by our keynote speaker, Dr Martin Griffiths, the newly appointed Clinical Director for the Violence Reduction Network at NHS England. Dr Griffiths will be speaking about his new role which sees him working with hospitals to break the cycle of violence and develop new ways to tackle and reduce youth knife crime. The evening will also give you the opportunity to meet teams from across our Service and hear first-hand about how they work with our system partners to provide the best care for Londoners. There will also be interactive audience participation giving you a unique opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the wonderful work all our teams do for London. |
Our Trust Board will also provide an overview of the past year and present the accounts.
In advance of the meeting, I would encourage you to take a look at our Annual Report for 2018/2019, which can be found here.

We have had an invitation from the LAS - 'End of Life Steering Group, asking for people with personal experience to attend an event on end of life care - see attached invitation.
It's an interactive workshop where people/public and users of the LAS can join in to give their perspective of end of life care delivered by paramedics. They are looking for people who have experience of using the LAS to provide care to a service user who has a life-limiting illness, e.g. Heart failure/ COPD/ Cancer / Motor Neurone Disease) nearing end of life - or potentially doing so. It is designed to enable paramedics and others to understand things directly from those who have had recourse to the LAS in these sad circumstances. |
Do you have this experience yourself or know of anyone who has had this kind of experience via the LAS? If you do, could you please let me know if you, or the person who has had this experience, would be happy to join the event on the morning of Thursday, 03 October?
