We would love to hear from anyone who lives or works in Ipswich and East Suffolk who has experience of heart failure, or who cares for someone with heart failure.

Go to www.letstalksnee.co.uk/beatinghftogether to find out more and get involved.

We know the most important voices are those of local people and communities. We want to work alongside residents, patients, carers and community groups to shape how neighbourhood health develops locally.

Opportunities to get involved will include:

• Sharing your experiences of care and support
• Taking part in workshops and discussion groups
• Helping to design and test new ways of working
• Joining community insight activities
• Providing feedback on proposed changes

Your insights will help ensure services are designed around what matters most to our communities.

If you would like to be involved, we will contact you with more information and invite you to take part. We are looking to bring people together to work as a group to help shape and improve heart failure information and education for the local community and for health and care staff.

Together, we can design neighbourhood health support that works better for our communities.

New name for our engagement platform

Thank you for all your name suggestions. We ran a poll to see which of the post popular ones would take the top spot and "Let's Talk Health and Care" was the winner.

Over the next few weeks, the new name will be appearing on the platform pages and the new URL www.letstalkhealthandcare.co.uk will come into effect. There will be a redirect set up on the old URL and links within the platform, so you shouldn't need to do anything as you will automatically be redirected to the new site once the changeover happens.

To keep up to date with developments on Let's Talk SNEE as the platform evolves, please visit www.letstalksnee.co.uk/let-s-talk-snee-is-changing

Pre-election period

As we are entering a pre-election period and due to the changes happening with Integrated Care Boards during April, things may be a little quieter on the platform. We will still be working hard to ensure engagement with you all and give the platform it's new look. We hope to be back with regular updates and new projects really soon.

Don't forget to update your Let's Talk SNEE user profile

A little while ago, we sent out a newsletter telling you about a change to the registration form and user profiles on Let's Talk SNEE. A big thank you to everyone that updated their user profiles accordingly. However, there are still many participants that have not yet done so, and we would be grateful if you could please go to
