Listen, action and impact
Our commitment to understanding what matters most to people is set out in our Engagement and Involvement Strategy. We understand the importance of building strong relationships with our communities and the positive impact collaboration has on the health and well-being of local people and in shaping healthcare services.
Understanding what matters most to our local communities is really important to us, particularly given the diverse rural and urban differences and the changing needs.
Our partnership with the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise Sector (VCSE), provides vital insight and reach into groups across our communities so that our services are accessible and responsive to all.
We are continually strengthening how we can engage and involve local people to ensure what matters to them is used to influence decision-making.
There are lots of ways people presently share their experiences and are actively involved and engaged in shaping local health services in Gloucestershire.
Each year, we publish our Engagement and Involvement Annual Review, highlighting the work we have done together with communities and the impact is has made on how we deliver care.
