Do you have an experience with health or social care services that you would like to share?

The first Have Your Say point at a hospital in the county is being launched by Healthwatch Nottinghamshire and Healthwatch Derbyshire at King’s Mill Hospital on 28th July,.

The physical communication point is where the public is invited to share their experiences, good or bad, on local health and social care services.

It is being launched at 10am and the public is invited to attend.

Healthwatch is an independent organisation created to gather and represent the views of local people about the health and social care services they receive. We work with the people who design and deliver these services so are able to influence how these services are delivered now and in the future.

Paul O’Connor, chief executive of Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said: “At Sherwood Forest Hospitals we want to continue to provide the high quality care and experience that our patients expect of us. The Have Your Say point is a great opportunity for people to have a much greater say on their health experiences, and to give their thoughts, ideas and suggestions.

“The feedback we receive from people who have used our services, and their family and friends, is really important to us. Listening and learning about care and treatment they received will help us to make positive changes to improve patient care and experience.”

The Have Your Say point will be permanently available in the Kings Treatment Centre. It will be managed by hospital volunteers during the day.
