We are all getting used to the periodic changes in the health service. 

Management changes, organisation changes, but the needs and wishes of the

patients and public remain the same.  When the changes happen; services get

lost, promises get forgotten, and accessing healthcare often gets less convenient.

By becoming a Friend of Withington Community Hospital you can add your voice

to all the users of the hospital to make sure that the views of the patients and

public are brought to the hospital Management.  As a member you will have the

option to attend meetings, discuss changes, vote on issues affecting the hospital

or even stand to become one of the officers such as Chairperson or Secretary.  

It’s up to you!  In addition, you will receive a newsletter of what's happening at the

hospital giving news of new services and facilities available to the public. 

All you have to do is fill in the form on the sidebar!

Initially the Friends of Withington Community Hospital will be set up and run by Manchester Health Watchdog, your independent health voice.  As soon as the

organisation become self sustaining, elections will be held and it will be left to the

membership to carry the organisation forwards and decide it’s future activities.

The community around the old Withington Hospital fought long and hard for the

hospital and now that it is here, the people of South Manchester need to make sure

that it provides all the services and facilities of a true community hospital. 

We hope you will join as and help to protect the services already provided and help

to develop Withington Community Hospital into the community facility that it was

always intended to be.
