Have your say in building a better NHS!

News - 29 January 2025

The government has launched the 'Change NHS: help build a health service fit for the future' initiative, aiming to engage the public in the largest ever conversation about the future of the NHS. This ambitious 10-Year Plan seeks to transform healthcare by shifting services from hospitals to local communities, leveraging digital technology, and prioritizing illness prevention over treatment.

The success of the NHS's future hinges on learning from the experiences of the public, who witness firsthand what works and what doesn't. To facilitate this, Healthwatch Kensington and Chelsea, Healthwatch Westminster, and Healthwatch Brent are organizing events in collaboration with the North West London Integrated Care Board. These events aim to foster a dialogue with the local community about the future of healthcare.

Participants from diverse backgrounds and experiences are encouraged to share their views, which will be combined with feedback from other events to shape the 10-Year Health Plan and influence local healthcare priorities. The events are open to all residents of North West London and community representatives, providing a valuable opportunity for voices to be heard and opinions to be shared on the NHS's direction.

Events:

Healthwatch Kensington & Chelsea and Healthwatch Westminster will host two engagement sessions in February, offering a platform to learn about the new NHS 10-Year Plan and share insights. These public discussion groups are open to anyone from North West London.

For those unable to attend the events, participation in the public consultation is still possible through the Change NHS website.

  • Online public discussion: In partnership with Healthwatch Westminster and Healthwatch Brent, an online event will take place on Monday, 13 February, from 6-7:30 pm. Sign-ups close on Friday, 7 February.

Don't miss this chance to be part of the conversation and help shape the future of the NHS!
