Get involved

We are fully committed to involving the public in healthcare planning and provision. It is important that you have your say so that we can improve our health services. Throughout the year, we engage on a regular basis with members of the public, community and voluntary sector organisations, local community groups and patient participation groups.
We hold statutory three month consultations if there are plans for a significant change to a local service, and continually engage with our communities through focus groups, surveys, events, My NHS, our website and social media. You can find a full list of our engagement activities, public meetings and events on our Events page.
Members of the public are also encouraged to attend our Governing Body meetings which are held in public twice a year. Contact us for more information.
