The time.... 20th January 2007, 11am

The place.... Friends Meeting House, 173 Euston Road, London (opposite Euston Station)

Across the country local campaigns are starting up to protect local NHS services. We are inviting all NHS campaigners to come together to find ways to urgently intensify the pressure on the government to change its approach to the NHS.

There will be speakers to provide an overview on the political situation and on what we have learnt from the campaign so far, along with workshop sessions where campaigning ideas can be developed in smaller groups.

Speakers include Tony Benn, John Lister, Jacky Davis and Sally Ruane.

We are inviting NHS campaigns to send up to three delegates. All remaining places are available on a first come first served basis and we welcome anyone interested in actively campaigning in support of the NHS. To register for places send delegate names to olivia@nhscampaign.org, tel. 01273 234822. There is a fee of £5 for each place.

It is crucial to build for the TUC led national event on 3 March and to work together where we can.
