Change NHS call to action – patient participation groups

To help build a health service fit for the future the government is holding the largest national conversation on the future of the NHS. Alongside the call for the public, staff and the wider health and care community to share their thoughts on the ambitions for the NHS and healthcare, there is a specific ask for GP practices to connect with their patient participation groups (PPGs) to engage in Change NHS through using:

  • Community engagement – the Workshop in a Box contains everything you need to engage a group of people in a conversation about the 10-year health plan: A facilitator briefing guide, a set of slides to help you run the workshop and a feedback form to share back what you hear. The online deadline for returns is 14 February 2025
  • Change.nhs.uk – individuals are also encouraged to tell us about their own experiences to help us prioritise key challenges facing health and care, or suggest an idea for improving the NHS.
