Healthcare for London

A London-wide consultation ran from 30 November 2007 to 7 March 2008:

"Healthcare for London is developing new ways to improve the healthcare of Londoners over the next ten years. This transformation is a major task, but already partner organisations, working groups and members of the public have come up with ideas to improve the quality, safety and accessibility of London’s healthcare."

A number of key meetings will decide the next steps for Healthcare for London.
You can access all the details of the consultation here.

BeatBullying

'Beatbullying is the UK's only stand alone anti-bullying charity. We facilitate and operate inter-agency youth led panels. Young people meet over a period of months to create an anti-bullying campaign which is then rolled out borough wide. BB would like to invite young LGBT people to be part of a homophobic bullying Panel, a campaign from which BB will produce and roll out London wide, complete with a microsite dedicated to young LGBT people. This is all strictly confidential - your sexual orientation will not be disclosed! We would also like these young people to be ambassadors on the BB Brent anti-bullying inter-agency Panel. This panel is LGBT only and it'll be a great opportunity to meet other young LGBT people. Please take a look at our main site and our kids portal.'
