About The My Health Focus Group

The My Health Focus Group is part of the Suffolk Learning Disability Strategy. The group is about working in co-production where guest speakers from health and social care come to talk about topics highlighted by the group. It is really important that people with a learning disability come to the My Health Focus Group to talk about what changes they want to see happen across Suffolk.

The My Health Focus Group is co-chaired by:

Wendy Scott, Head of Quality Mental Health Learning Disability and Autism, Suffolk & North East Essex ICB

Mark Conquer, Expert with Experience Project Worker, Ace Anglia.

The My Health Focus Group wants to

  • Showcase and celebrate best practice.
  • Identify projects to work together on.
  • Explore how we want the group to work, communicate with each other and develop plans to ensure the vision of the strategy is supported:
  • People with learning disabilities live good lives as part of their community, with the right support, at the right time, from the right people.
  • The findings from this coproduction will feed back into the Suffolk Learning Disability Partnership Board to support and enable change.
