Your views on local healthcare services needed
Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB) Virtual Citizen's Panel.
The Virtual Citizen's Panel aims to ensure our local healthcare services meet the needs of our diverse community. The Virtual Ctizen's Panel is an initiative that allows members of the public to share their views with the NHS in Lancashire and South Cumbria through research groups, events, and online questionnaires. It provides a platform for residents to be heard and stay informed about the work being done in the region. This initiative complements ongoing face-to-face engagement efforts with community groups and helps gather valuable insights to improve and commission health and care services.
By joining the Virtual Citizen's Panel, you will have the opportunity to discuss your experiences of healthcare in Lancashire and South Cumbria. Your feedback will be instrumental in shaping services that reflect the needs and priorities of residents. Participants can choose which issues they wish to be contacted about, ensuring that involvement is both relevant and convenient.
The ICB will also continue to engage with the community through local groups, public events, and partnerships with organisations like Healthwatch and various voluntary and community organisations. Much of this happens in place-based partnerships and this ensures that everyone has the chance to contribute, whether online or in person.
The insights gathered from the Virtual Citizen's Panel play a crucial role in making health and care services in Lancashire and South Cumbria the best they can be. Involving local people in this process is essential, and the ICB is committed to listening and responding to your needs.
