Following its recent drop-in sessions at Oakham and Uppingham, Healthwatch Rutland has announced a series of new dates for Rutland residents to share their thoughts on local health care.

Healthwatch Rutland is the public's NHS health and social care champion.

It is happy to hear from anyone who uses GPs, hospitals, dentists, pharmacies, care homes or other NHS support services, focusing on their experiences.

The upcoming drop in sessions are set to take place on:

• December 14, 10am-midday – Ryhall Library
