Members of the public and patients in Devon, as well as NHS staff and healthcare experts, are being invited to share their experiences, views and ideas for improving the NHS to shape a new 10-Year Health Plan for the NHS.

You can respond in two ways:

• By completing the local survey here (even if you have already completed the national one)
  
  
• By attending an engagement event to discuss the three shifts that the Government, health service, and experts agree need to happen. These shifts include moving care from hospitals to communities, making better use of technology, and preventing sickness, not just treating it.

These sessions are being held on:

• Tuesday 28 January in Exeter Library
• Thursday 30 January in Barnstaple Library

Sign up here, and find more dates for events across Devon and online.

For people who are unable to submit their feedback online, Healthwatch Devon, Plymouth and Torbay are offering to collate feedback over the phone. People can access this support by calling 0800 520 0640.

This is your opportunity to share your insights and experiences to shape both the national 10-Year Health Plan and local NHS improvement programmes in Devon. Our Chief Nursing Officer, Carolyn Mills, has a few words to share with you about this.
