Help Build a Health Service Fit for the Future: Change NHS
A 10-Year Plan for the NHS
As part of its 10-Year Health Plan, the Government has launched 'Change NHS: help build a health service fit for the future'.
This project amounts to the largest public consultation on the future of the NHS in its 76 year history.
The public and health and care staff in England are encouraged to share their views, experiences and ideas at the Change NHS online portal. The portal opened on 21 October 2024 and will run for several months.
It doesn’t matter whether you have a little or lot to say. The online portal is open to everyone, whether you’re a member of the public or someone who works in health and care in England. There is also an area of the portal dedicated to responses from organisations.
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is leading this work, alongside NHS England. It is the combined role of these organisations to support, protect and improve the health and wellbeing of populations in England.
About the online portal
The portal opened on 21 October 2024 and will run for several months. Everyone over the age of 16 living in England can take part.
Some questions are aimed at those working in the health and care sector to ensure they can share their views and experiences. Other questions are written specifically for those who use services.
Staff and the public will both have unique insights about what needs to change in the NHS.
Go to the portal to:
- give your views on the NHS and health and care
- tell the government what you feel is working well and what needs improving
- share your experiences
- post your ideas for improving health and care in the future
The site is interactive and gives you the opportunity to engage with other people’s ideas too.
