Health and Wellbeing
Representatives from Public Health, Health and Social Care
Services and Commissioning work with Knowsley Older People's Voice
(KOPV) members to address priority areas identified by older
people.
What we've achieved so far
The group focuses on raising the ability of older people to stay
physically and mentally fit and well – with initiatives including
raising awareness of cancer, staying warm and well in winter and
undertaking regular immunisation. Some health and wellbeing issues
are beyond the control of the individual, and the health and
wellbeing group influences the developments of dementia
services for people in Knowsley who develop dementia and their
families.
Future Plans
People want services that are tailored to their specific
needs. Personalisation is a term that relates to how people
design and control their services. This group has strong links with
the Personalisation Board and KOPV are involved in the development
of the Personalisation Agenda.
