Speak up and help improve health and care in Rutland

We all love the NHS, but let’s make it even better this year. Tell us about your experiences of health and social care, and the changes that you would like to see made locally, in our online survey. #SpeakUp2020
In one click you can help improve care for your community. It's that easy.

People have told us that easy access to health and care services is their top health and care priority for 2020. 

People would like to see changes such as:

  • Better access to primary care services 
  • Improvement in patient transport for rural areas
  • Better communication between services 

People have also told us that continuity of care and ease of access to mental health services are also important for service users locally.

So what are we doing about it? 

We're calling on more people to share their views and experiences with us. We all value the support that social care services provide, but they need to hear from the people who use them about how they can improve. 

We want to know about your experiences at all stages of care, including:

  • How easy was it to access the help and support you needed?
  • What was your experience of care like?
  • How did you feel about the further treatment, care or support you were offered?

By taking just five minutes to speak up about what's worked and what can be improved, you can help future services improve care for you, your loved ones, and your community. It’s that simple.

Of course, if you would like to join in the conversation online to help us spread the message you can find us on Twitter and Facebook or join in with #SpeakUp2020.

Listening to the experiences and concerns of the public is fundamental in ensuring positive change for health and social care services. We want to encourage people to share their views with us about changes they want to see within the services they care about.
