Help build a health service fit for the future – Change NHS
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has recently launched its 10-Year Health Plan engagement exercise, Change NHS.
This consultation aims to co-develop the 10-Year Health Plan with the public, patients, and staff.
How can you get involved?
Everyone in England is invited to share their ideas and it doesn’t matter whether you have a lot or a little to say. Your views, experiences and ideas can help shape a new 10 Year plan to improve the NHS
Have your say here https://change.nhs.uk/en-GB/
If you are a member of the public, a patient, carer or someone who works in health and care in England, complete this questionnaire to share your views and experiences.
If you are contributing as a representative of an organisation, complete the organisation questionnaire. This is an early opportunity to share your insights as an extensive programme of engagement to develop the 10 Year Health Plan begins. You can find more information about this initiative and ways to get involved by visiting the Change NHS website here.
Commenting on why people should get involved, Louise Ansari, Healthwatch England’s Chief Executive, said:
“We know people appreciate the hard work of NHS staff, but they are all too aware that the NHS faces many challenges that need fixing. The 10-year plan provides the opportunity to do this.
“We urge everyone to have their say on how the NHS should deliver better care to people where and when it is needed, more support to help people stay well, and a culture of listening to and acting on the views of patients.
“All too often, people face unequal access to care, with disabled people and those on lower incomes being particularly at risk. The NHS belongs to us all, so you must speak up and help create a health service that is fit for the future – equal and inclusive for everyone.”
