Join our Professional Engagement Network (PEN)

Are you a health or social care professional working in Hambleton, Richmondshire or Whitby?

Do you want to be part of improving, developing and transforming local health and social care services?

If so, NHS Hambleton, Richmondshire and Whitby Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) would like to hear from you.

What is the PEN?

As we establish ourselves as an NHS organisation, we want to give health care professionals the opportunity to have a say and get involved in the planning and shaping of local health services. In order to do this, we want to work with health and social care professionals who have a huge breadth of knowledge. We hope that the PEN will help us to utilise this expertise, gain insight into the local issues affecting our clinical communities and help us to improve, develop and transform services.

Who can join the PEN?

All Clinicians and health professionals are welcome, from any specialty within primary, secondary, acute, community care and mental health. We would also like to involve representatives from social care, independent care providers and voluntary and third sector health care providers. We see this as a mutually beneficial network where members can gain professional experience for their portfolios.

What will the PEN do?

Members of the PEN will be asked to take part in discussions with the CCG around their area of expertise. This may be at a face to face workshop meeting, over the telephone or online. We will also hold an event twice a year to update the PEN on progress so far.
