We are calling for your help

We are calling for your help. Your local NHS, NHS South Cheshire and Vale Royal CCGs (NHS SC & VR CCGs), are talking to people about the future of community services and primary care (GPs).

Community services cover anything you may have used outside of hospital, examples are: district nursing, physiotherapy, specialist nursing teams, occupational therapy, continence services, rehabilitation services.

We are aiming to improve patient care by joining up health and social care services, including GP services, so that you don't have to keep repeating your story and so that staff can work together with you. To move this forward, we need to know what is important to you and what staff think is important too.

What does this mean for you?

From now until the end of December 2015, a company called Participate Ltd will be seeking views on services from you, staff and other people or organisations that would like to get involved. The aim of this process is to understand:

• what currently works well
• what doesn't work well and what improvements can be made
• what support staff need to be able to join up services
• what you feel needs to be done to give the best service possible.

How will this happen?

We would really value your assistance by taking part in this process. Participate has developed a survey, which can be completed through this link which can be found by clicking here.

They would also like to undertake 1-2-1 telephone interviews and attend any groups/forums taking place until the end of November 2015.

Therefore, if you know of any of relevant groups/meetings or would like to take part in an interview please email: communityeng@participate.uk.com
or call 01270 868 021.

In addition, they will also be involving service users through established groups, Healthwatch, the CVS and any forums where you can assist.
