Join our People’s Network
We invite you to influence the health and care services used by you, your family and friends.
We are looking for enthusiastic, willing people of different ages and backgrounds to join our online People’s Network and share views by answering surveys.
You don’t need to have any experience of using health and care services but just be willing to join conversations about a range of issues important to you.
If you want to improve the lives of people in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, join our People’s Network.
To become a member of the Network you will:
- Need to be over 16 years old and live or work in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin
- Be asked to complete online surveys to share your views about health and care
- Receive updates about local developments in health and care
What do we need from you as a member?
- You don’t need to have any experience of using health and care services
- A willingness to contribute
- As much or as little time as you can give
- A desire to help improve local health and care and make a difference.
Usually, surveys are shared once a month and take approximately 10 minutes to complete. You can choose which one you wish to answer. Our surveys will generally be on different health or social care topics like hospital services, GP access, care services, public health services and much more. You can fill them out on your phone or computer. We can offer a telephone call if you need assistance. People within the NHS and Local Authority who make decisions on local services consider the feedback we receive.
Occasionally there is an opportunity to take part in a focus group. These meetings will normally take place online, occasionally in person. You choose if you’d like to be involved.
You can opt out of the People’s Network at any time.
We forward your feedback and comments to health and care leaders across our county in order to ensure that your voice is considered at all stages. What you tell us will be fed directly into the decision-making process when we consider changes to our services or policies.
No, you just need to be a resident of Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin aged 16+. No prior knowledge of health or social care is required to take part.
Your personal data will be held securely and not be shared with any third parties. By signing up to the People's Network you agree that your personal data can be used to send you opportunities to have your say on health and care that we believe you may be interested in.
Your responses will be linked to the demographic information you supply when you register with the network, but your responses will be anonymous as we use unique ID codes rather than individuals’ names to analyse the data.
Complete the form above and we will keep you up to date on the latest surveys.
