Localhealthsites.co.uk is a leading medical portal giving quick and easy access to a full range of medical, social and well-being resources in your area. The whole of England, Wales & Scotland is divided into 500 local areas consistent with NHS boundaries.

The site is invaluable to all health-workers from doctors to carers and to all sections of the public who need in-depth local information. The advantage of this site is that you can access not only your own area but also any of the 500 areas. You can see what is on offer in neighbouring areas and in areas where, say, an elderly relative may live. Your pc will remember your chosen areas, which will be there when you next access the site. You can change these remembered areas at any time

The sites within the subcategories give all the necessary information such as name, address, phone & e-mail address and also direct web-links to organisations with a web page.

The clean and simple layout works perfectly on a pc or touchscreen.

Because this is such an invaluable resource for each local area, and because it makes local information so accessible, local people will maintain local sites with editorial overview by a local GP. Usually the NHS section will be maintained by staff at the local Primary Care Trust or Group, and the Council & Public Services by local Council staff, so local collaboration will be essential. Local volunteers may be involved. Reading, Berkshire is launched as the show piece model.
