SoWhoCaresAnyway E8 Connecting People, Creating Hope

 

Are you ready to be awed and inspired?

In this next episode of #SoWhoCaresAnyway, Dr Mark Spencer takes us on a transformational journey that starts with listening and litter picking and ends with creating hope and having fun.

Mark has been a GP in Fleetwood, a small ex-fishing town on the northwest coast of England, for over 30 years and is now the clinical director for Fleetwood Primary Care Network. Witnessing the decline in his community’s health and wellbeing after the fishing fleet's decommissioning in the 1970s, Mark set out to ignite change by bringing people together and asking the simple question: #WhatMatters.

Fleetwood is now flourishing. Through small actions and community empowerment, Fleetwood's greatest asset, its people, have embraced a new approach, moving beyond #DoWith to taking ownership of their community’s future.

Beyond Fleetwood, Mark plays a vital role nationally as co-chair of the NHS Confederation national PCN Network
