The Community Engagement Team, in partnership with NHS Bolton, held a Self Care presentation event on 28th February 2009. The event brought together participants from across Bolton who had successfully completed their Self Care course. Participants were given the opportunity to talk about how they benefited from the course.

The Community Engagement Workers, who facilitated the courses, provided a valuable insight of how they worked with each community group. Lesley Jones, Specialist in Public Health, then presented the Self Care certificates.

"We are very proud of everyone’s achievements".
