Margaret River residents invited to participate in South West health service planning workshops

The WA Country Health Service (WACHS) is calling on residents from Margaret River and the surrounding areas to participate in workshops designed to help guide the future of South West health services.

According to WACHS South West Regional Director Kerry Winsor, the workshops form part of the organisation's ongoing commitment to ensuring regional hospitals and health services meet community need now and into the future.

"While we're proud of the services our staff deliver, we know there is always room for us to improve," Ms Winsor said.

"This is an exciting opportunity for the community to help us ensure facilities in Margaret River are supporting them to be as healthy as they can be."

Ms Winsor said it's expected the information gathered from these workshops will help inform the service plans being developed for the region and each of the South West districts.

"Our patients are at the centre of everything that we do, including service design," she said.

"We want an even stronger network of South West hospitals and health services that improve patient outcomes and experiences and give consumers more choice and control."

Residents are invited to attend the Margaret River workshop on Wednesday 13 October, 10.00am to 1.00pm, at Margaret River HEART, 43 Wallcliffe Road, Margaret River.
