Sarah Barkley from Newtownabbey Borough Council said: “Northern Trust site is a useful resource for the whole community. It contains information on services in our area, contact details and the ‘Live Well’ section provides advice on stopping smoking, heart health and physical activity, all of which are vital in achieving a healthy lifestyle.”

The website www.northerntrust.hscni.net was designed with the needs of the Northern Trust’s audience in mind. Navigation through the site is simple with the latest news and updates highlighted on the homepage. It has a wealth of information, available 24/7.
