Roads, transport and highways affect us all. Take part in our county views survey to tell us how you use our roads and your priorities on this important topic.

The county views citizens’ panel gives the people of Greater Lincolnshire a voice and connects them with their local authorities.  Join the panel to:

• tell us about what matters to you
• show us where we can improve
• help us deliver better services

Our panel is growing and expanding in new directions.  We need this large panel of people from all ages and backgrounds to reflect the people and views of Greater Lincolnshire.  The more of you that take part the stronger your voice becomes.  

We are listening and we share survey results on Let’s Talk Lincolnshire.

Defibrillator Grants for Sports Clubs – Active Lincolnshire

Recent tragic Cardiac Arrest events involving professional sports persons shows that it can happen to absolutely anyone at anytime, anywhere. The chances of survival increases from 7% to 70% if a Defibrillator is used within the first 3-5 minutes London Hearts have launched an initiative to assist sports clubs across the UK in obtaining this life-saving equipment, and are offering £300 grants towards the costs of a Defibrillator.

As part of person-centred care, care closer to home, prevention and inclusion, we have been commissioned by the CCG for the ICS to support one of its digital partners, Helicon Health, with some early discovery-phase work. 

They are looking towards a possible future that involves patients with a range of specified conditions (does not include Dementia but does include mental health, adult frailty and long-term conditions, multiple conditions, CVD and heart failure, stroke prevention, Multiple Sclerosis, and Parkinsons)

We would like to hear from patients and their family carers about some basic things at this early stage.   What we want to begin to understand is:

• How familiar people are with ‘smart’ technology,  – mainly here we are talking about diagnostic things similar to ‘Fitbit’ watches, phone apps, patches or similar ‘wearable’ devices.
• The diagnostic tools would help people monitor their own conditions and could be linked to their GP or Health Specialist. Might this be useful for people?  
• What do people feel are the opportunities and challenges with this, the pro’s and con’s for them? 
• To what extent would people be prepared to use such a device – if so, why; if not, why not?
