Health

CAG has a strong history in working in the fields of health and social care. In recent years we have focused on community development in the health sector.

This community focus has led to us being involved in a wide range of initiatives which include:

• Public and Patient involvement
• Community led needs assessment
• Training in community develeopment for community nursing staff
• Developing community responses to inequality in health.

Some examples of our work include:
