There’s also a chance for people to become more involved in their local health services by joining the ‘Have Your Say’ membership scheme, which is run by NHS Wyre Forest Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG).
The scheme is an opportunity for patients and the public to work together with their CCG to better understand what health topics are going on in their area. It also gives people the opportunity to put forward their ideas and views about what health services work for them and make recommendations for the future.
As a ‘Have Your Say’ member you can:
- Have your say and debate issues
- Access up-to-date information about your CCG
- Help us improve the future local health services
- Learn more about your areas of interest
Ruth Cooper, Engagement Manager for NHS Wyre Forest CCG said: “Patients, carers and the public are often best placed to spot changes that can be made to services to improve the quality of care on offer.
“We value every bit of engagement that we receive and want to ensure that all the services that we commission are done so with patient and stakeholder feedback.
“Patient Participation Groups are a crucial way of hearing the voice of patients in primary care, and have much to contribute in driving up quality.”
