A WEBSITE has been launched in a bid to provide Herefordshire residents with more information about the health services available to them.
The site can help people find out hospital visiting times, phone numbers for GPs and dentists and even what job vacancies there are in the NHS.
Located at www.herefordshire.nhs
.uk, the site is currently "small and simple", but health chiefs hope feedback from users will enable it to be expanded in the future.
It provides information about Hereford Hospitals NHS Trust, Herefordshire Primary Care Trust and Hereford and Worcester Ambulance Service.
Mike Johnson, director of Hereford Hospitals NHS Trust, who co-ordinated work on the website, said: "The NHS locally and nationally publishes masses of information. What we are anxious to do is keep the site relevant to local needs.
Anyone who uses the site and would take part in a discussion to improve it can call Euan McPherson on 01432 262023.
or Stephanie Pennington in 01432 355444.
"As we develop the site adding more information about specific services we would welcome feedback from the public.
"The website contains an easy to complete feedback form which will guide how the site develops."
