Following the success of last year’s events, NHS Ayrshire & Arran has teamed up with West FM and Westsound to bring back our summer roadshows. We’ll be out and about all over Ayrshire, from Girvan and Millport to Catrine and Arran.

These events aim to highlight the range of activities currently underway to support and improve the health and wellbeing of our communities; give you the chance to meet members of NHS Ayrshire & Arran’s directors and non-executive board members; and to share NHS Ayrshire & Arran’s purpose, values and commitments.

At these drop-in events, you can find out about services available from the NHS and partner organisations and perhaps get a mini health check. You can also give us your feedback to be in with the chance of winning your choice of either an iPad mini or a Kindle!

West FM’s and Westsound’s well-known presenters will be attending the events so why not come along and have a chat. Drop in to any of our roadshows between 10am and 2pm.

We want to bring the NHS back into the community so the public can find out about the NHS behind the headlines.

“I really enjoyed last year’s events and hope that this year’s will be just as successful. It was great to be able to chat to people and share with them the ways we can work together to achieve the healthiest life possible for everyone in Ayrshire and Arran.” Listen out for more information on Westsound and West FM or visit our website www.nhsaaa.net/roadshows.
