Getting involved - NHS Worcestershire Needs YOU!!!

Making sure that decisions we take reflect what patients and the public want is a key priority for NHS Worcestershire. This has been an ongoing issue for a number of years but has been the subject of even greater focus during the last 12 months.

We have a legal duty to involve patients and the public and are really committed to making this happen effectively in Worcestershire. We are also continually looking for more volunteers and people who have an interest and can contribute in some way.

Key decisions are often taken as a direct result of patient input and there is already a strong base of community input into health services. Finances have to always be a factor and be taken into account but the key principle is that the public should be able to influence how services are delivered and developed in their area.

There are lots of ways to be involved in your health care and health services across the County:

• For individual issues - contact our Patient Relations Team or by Complaints and Compliments
• To influence health services take part in our Consultations or join us as a volunteer for our Health Insight Panel by looking on our Community Engagement page.

 

 

Volunteering Opportunity of the Month! The Community Hospitals in Worcestershire are acting on National Dignity Day - 25th February. The Day aims to highlight high quality nursing with dignity and compassion to improve patient experience. Contact us to get involved with the various activities.
