Oban & Lorn Living Well Network
The Oban, Lorn and Inner Isles Network aims to support anyone in the local community who wants to improve the health and wellbeing of people living there. New members are always welcome.
We meet at least four times a year to network, build partnerships, share knowledge and information.
In between meetings members receive regular emails containing relevant news and information from a variety of sources.
Carol Flett is the Living Well Network Coordinator for the Oban, Lorn and the Islands, she lives between Coll and Tiree. Network meetings are held virtually on Zoom and Carol is planning one face to face meeting per year in Oban.
If you have any information that you would like to share with the network, please email it to tcmhwn@gmail.com or if you want to keep up to date, just ask to be on the mailing list.
OBAN HEALTH TOWN INITIATIVE
LWN Meetings
Tuesday June 20th, 10am Patient and Community Transport
This will be the first of many meetings looking at where the gaps in provision are across the Network and discussing small measures that could be made to make an improvement. We hope to include appropriate staff from Argyll and Bute Council and from the Health and Social Care Partnership in discussions.
If you have an interest in either patient transport or community transport or both, please contact Carol on tcmhwn@gmail.com and she will send you the Zoom link.
Wednesday November 29th, 2pm Signposting
Come along and hear about the work in progress by your network coordinator Carol including Community posters, Newspaper articles and facebook as we try to make sure as much supportive information as possible gets to the right people in our communities. The main part of this meeting will be for Living Well Network members and partners to share information about the support they can provide. A few minutes each to talk about their work before answering any questions.
If you would like to come along to share information or hear about the support that is available for you and your communities please contact Carol on tcmhwn@gmail.com and she will send you the Zoom link.
