Are you struggling to access health and care services this winter? 

With the NHS under extra pressure this winter, we need to hear your experiences of care to help services understand what is working and spot issues affecting support for you and your loved ones.

The NHS is facing added pressures this winter. This means that it can be more challenging for people to receive the care they need. 

Feedback from the public can play a vital role in helping health and social care services understand what is working and spot issues affecting care. 

This is why we have launched a campaign to get more people to share their experiences of care this winter.  

If you or a loved one have used GPs, hospitals, pharmacies, care homes or other support services this winter, we want to hear about your experience. 

Every experience matters 

Have you faced challenges or delays accessing health and care services this winter? If you have, we want to know how this has affected your health and wellbeing.  

Have you found accessing NHS services easy? Are there any aspects of the care you got that you really valued?  

Your positive or negative feedback can help services hear what is working and spot issues affecting care for you and your loved ones. 

Have your say 

Please share your experience and help us make NHS decision-makers aware of what needs to change to improve access to care.  

We’re completely independent and impartial, and anything you say is confidential.
