Navigating the healthcare system as a Disabled person or someone living with a long-term health condition can consume a lot of our time and energy. Especially as access becomes more and more digitalised. Whether it is getting an appointment with a GP, seeking a diagnosis, or accessing the treatment we feel we need, we can face many barriers along the way, and it can be hard to speak up and advocate for our own health.

 

In a workshop led by Merton CIL’s Speaking Up Supervisor, we will explore:

Who Is The Workshop For?

Anyone is welcome to attend, whether you are dealing with a current health-related issue or would simply like to feel more prepared for using the NHS and self-advocating in the future. You do not have to be an existing Merton CIL Member to attend. 

 

Note. If you have attended a previous 'My Health My Choice: Speaking Up' Workshop then please note some exercises may be repeated.

 

Please RSVP by Thursday 8^th October 2026 by email: info@mertoncil.org.uk or call us on 0203 397 3119

 

Access: Wheelchair accessible venue; BSL Interpreter upon request.
