Lancashire Gujarat Health Users' Forum: working towards the wellbeing of the community

the new 2012 Health Mela PosterWelcome to the Lancashire Gujarat Health Users' Forum. Based at the Gujarat Hindu Society in Preston, the forum was established by health care professionals and users of the regional health services to give people better access to appropriate, high quality health care services.

The aims of the Forum are: to improve awareness of the range of health services currently available; to encourage greater use of services; to increase participation of ethnic minority groups in the planning and delivery of health care and health care strategies; and to assist in raising the general standard of health of the ethnic communities by empowering them to adopt healthy life styles.

The Forum organises a series of Health Mela events, which are attended by representatives of all the region's main health care providers and public agencies. In addition, practitioners and advisors working in the fields of alternative medicine are also represented.
