On 1st September 2014, Margaret Rickson sadly passed away just before her 86th birthday. Margaret was a great advocate for the importance of patients being active partners in managing their health and care. You can read all about how she did this and that the change that resulted from her work and approach to life here.
This conference has been organised in her memory to try and show how as active members of our local community, as patients, carers, service users or clinicians we can also take more control of improving our health and care. This can be perhaps through community work, exercise or through digital access to our health and care information and services.
