Working in partnership

Age UK Milton Keynes works with other organisations, both public and private, in order to provide the services that local older people tell us they need.

Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Health and Care Partnership - fund the Age UK Milton Keynes Hospital Aftercare Service  which works closely with Milton Keynes Hospital to provide support to people when they are patients on a hospital ward or in A&E.  Our staff also take people home from hospital and can provide practical support for up to six weeks after discharge. 

The Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Health and Care Partnership is an integrated care system formally established on 1 July 2022. With the NHS, councils and other organisations working together in partnership, residents who have a range of health and care needs will be supported in a more joined up way. It should make accessing services simpler and the support provided more effective.

Senior Voice MK

A voice for older people in Milton Keynes
Join our friendly group and have your say.  Senior Voice MK aims to help people aged 60 years and over :

  • act as the focus for the views of the over 60s in Milton Keynes
  • represent those views as fairly and inclusively as possible
  • make sure that the voice is effective

Senior Voice MK works on issues raised by older people at Age UK Milton Keynes’ Annual Forums and provides feedback on progress.  Members invite speakers to their quarterly meetings; recent topics were "MK General Hospital", "social services" and "transport".  Age UK Milton Keynes provides information and secretariat, but Senior Voice MK is independent of the charity.

Senior Voice MK would like to hear the views of older people about local services (good and bad), or about any issues which affect their quality of life.  However, the Senior Voice MK volunteers are not able to act as advocates or give advice on individual cases.

Ring us on 01908 550700 for more information.
