Community Forum

An NHS Community Forum is just the sort of place, where self-meaning can be projected into social-meaning. That is, if the Forum is not used simply as a Public Relations exercise…..but then that’s our job to see that it does not.

Here is the sort of pitch, that Community Fora usually make. It has been paraphrased and anonymised:

welcome
Welcome to our community forum, open to patients, former patients, their families, friends and anyone living in ***** and in +++++.
Our forum highlights key projects we are working on as well as future events and activities you can get involved with. The Forum is also an opportunity for you to give us your views on developments at the ^^^^^ Hospital. Pleasee-mail us on *****forum@nhs.net.
The community forum is growing. Over ?,000 people have signed up so far but our target is much larger. Please invite anyone you know who is interested in health services across our community to sign up here. We would like to hear from you too!
We have received a huge amount of support from our local councils and voluntary organisations who have been helping us to spread the word and grow the Forum. We would be very grateful for your suggestions.

welcome
Welcome to the M4A Community Forum, open to people in general, including friends, their families and indeed anyone interested in the meaning of life and how to make a better go of it.
The forum highlights subjects, we are currently working on, as well as future ones, with which you can get involved. The forum is also an opportunity for you to give us your views on M4A developments.
The community forum is growing. There are already 2 of us – the co-editors…… Room for a few more; but sign up early to avoid disappointment. Please also invite anyone you know, who is interested in the meaning of their own lives and how to make a better job of it. We would like to hear from them too!
We have been completely self-motivated so far. It would be nice to have some others onboard.
