Key findings
- Overall the feedback from the focus group highlighted these new roles will be welcomed for providing specialist support in each of the nine neighbourhoods.
- It will empower Bolton’s people to take control of their own health and wellbeing with the primary focus being on prevention and early intervention through a wide range of services that will support people to remain happy and healthy.
- The voluntary and community sector provided a positive response when asked how they felt their community group or organisation linked to the new workforce. These links included
- We provide services in Bolton that would be beneficial for people accessing the CANs programme
- We support people who access primary care, therefore it is important we are informed of current developments and changes to services to ensure we can navigate people to the right service
- Some of our specialised community groups and networks can support the development of accessible resources using our wide range of knowledge, skills and lived experiences. This provides an exciting opportunity to work in partnership with the public and private sector to ensure a uniformed accessible approach is adopted across Bolton.
