" We know we are an important part of the community and we take this responsibility seriously. We believe hospital services improve when we listen carefully to what people tell us and we respond to their needs.   We want to give our communities a much bigger say in how we work and we think you will have lots of brilliant ideas to help us shape our future.

We recognise it’s not always easy to get your voice heard and this is why we’re holding an open, honest and anonymous online conversation. This is an opportunity for everyone in our communities to share their ideas in a safe, anonymous online space. You can also read and comment on what others have shared, and vote on what you like or don’t like.

We will use the insight generated from this online conversation to inform our Public Participation Plan, which will be published in July 2021.

We know some things need to change, and we need your help to tell us what we should be striving for, and what, together, we can do to support our communities to live happier, healthier lives.

Our online conversation opens on Wednesday 21 April for 4 weeks and will be accessible 24 hours a day 7 days a week.  You can find out more and register your interest in advance by visiting www.sathgetinvolved.org    

We want to hear from everybody so please share this information with your networks and ask them to share it too."
