Topics are:

• Looking after ourselves and each other – getting this right is the best way to be healthy and reduce the strain on the NHS. You might hear this referred to as ‘prevention’ and ‘self-care’
• Joined up care close to home – services delivered in the community or your own home
• Mental health and learning disabilities – one quarter of us will develop a mental health illness at some point in our lifetime so getting these services right is paramount
• Hospital Services – this year we will be talking with you about these services and the emerging options for their future sustainability
• Enabling factors – this is how we refer to such things as travel and transport, IT and digital opportunities, recruitment and estates and buildings – not the services themselves, but big influencers on our ability to deliver them well
• The national NHS Long Term Plan – and how we can make this work best for Lincolnshire
