 The way we
deliver health and social care is changing. Part of this change is about making
sure that the people we support receive personalised care that works for them.
This survey will help improve our understanding of how confident the people of
Portsmouth are about making choices about their own care.
 As the cold weather continues, remember to wrap up warm, take extra care and watch out for your neighbours. Click below for advice from a local GP and useful information including gritting.

 Shared Lives carers open up their
own homes and offer their spare rooms to adults in the community who need a
bit of extra support.
Carers may support a whole range of activities such as cooking,
budgeting, laundry, getting
involved in the local community and participating in activities such as swimming,
social and sports clubs and going to the theatre. Some people even have their
first ever holiday with their Shared lives carer.
Shared Lives households come in all shapes and sizes and the carers may work or Shared Lives may become their full time occupation. The team are always looking for more carers so if you or anyone you know might be interested then contact the team to find out more.

Some bars and clubs in Portsmouth have been trialling using
breathalysers on the door to help decide whether to let people in and serve them
alcohol. You can give your thoughts on whether you think this scheme is a
good idea in
the survey running until March 15th.
