Fancy being on Question Time? Now's your chance...

We don't like to make things easy for ourselves. Sitting down with a cup of tea and our feet up just isn't our style at cafe sustain - that's the customers' prerogative. As we are part of an exciting project on self care, we thought we would do something a bit 'outside the box' giving patients the chance to quiz their healthcare professionals on a particular topic - hence HEALTH QUESTION TIME. The first topic will be tiredness and fatigue and this is how it will work:
1. Patients/community/cafe customers turn up at 6pm on Monday 8th November - free tickets available from Cafe Sustain (ring 01884 831300 and ask for cafe).
2. We have organised a panel of health professionals: Dr Dixon (GP), Dr Matthews (GP), Fraser Pearman (pharmacist) and  Simon Mills (Self Care project lead).
3. We ask you to submit questions on TIREDNESS AND FATIGUE for the panel to answer.
4. The session will run like Question Time on the television or Gardeners' Question Time on the radio.
5. We have invited the press to make it a bit more exciting and the Department of Health are very supportive of our idea which means we could well be recorded.
6. It will be an opportunity to hear, from a variety of perspectives, ways to manage tiredness and fatigue.
7. If this is the success I feel it will be, then we will go on to plan future Question Times on other health conditions. So please support us. It will be a brilliant event. Tickets are limited so please get yours from the cafe soon.
