The website, which has received support from Prime Minister David Cameron, focuses initially on dementia and stroke services and has been pioneered by the NHS across the south west, along with social care partners, voluntary groups and with key input from patients and carers.
The website, called Our Health, was highlighted with the launch of the PM’s Challenge on Dementia. It is the first of its kind in England and will eventually be rolled out across the whole country.

A guide dog suffered a deep cut under her eye and needed antibiotics after she was “savaged” by another dog in Norwich yesterdaymorning.
The guide dog was with its blind owner when it was attacked by a Staffie-type dog outside one of the two Norfolk and Norwich Association for the Blind shops in Magdalen Street at about 10.30am.
The incident has prompted calls for compulsory microchipping for all dogs in England to encourage responsible dog ownership and help reduce the number of attacks on guide dogs.
