“If we don’t listen, we won’t get it right”: over 80 organisations share their views for the Change NHS 10 year plan
On Wednesday 29 January, over 80 community leaders and colleagues from the voluntary sector across south west London came together in Everyday Church in Wimbledon to discuss the future of the NHS.
We kicked off a full morning of group discussions on the three shifts that form the basis of the ten year plan: moving care from hospitals to communities, making better use of technology, and focusing on preventing sickness, not just treating it. We asked the question ’what matters most to your communities?’, and heard personal insights and valuable suggestions from a huge range of people.
Hear from community leaders and our NHS South West London Chair, Mike Bell on why listening to our communities is so important.
Today enables someone like myself to take messages that I’ve picked up from the community and give them a platform.
Michael Samuel, BME Forum, Croydon
Today is all about getting it right. If we don’t hear from the communities most of need of health care, we won’t get it right.
Mike Bell, Chair, South West London ICB
The shift from hospital to community care really empowers people to take charge of their own health.
