What we do
Our vision is to give everyone a voice about how public health and social care services are designed and delivered.
We are working to gather the best evidence and the widest range of views, especially those from minority groups, ethnic minority groups, people living with disabilities, older people, and younger people.
To ensure that we have the best evidence, the widest range of views, and genuine insights from all areas of our community, we carry out a wide range of research, engagement, and facilitation work.
We work collaboratively with service providers, community leaders, and our local councils to carry out service assessments, user-group facilitation, patient participation, focus groups, and online surveys. All with the support of our dedicated volunteers.
Our Approach
We assess and evaluate local services
We facilitate patient particpation
We offer advice and support to GP practices on setting up and maintaining Patient Participation Groups (PPGs) to develop patient-friendly practices with patients.
It's a space for patients to learn about how their GP practice works, air their views, and to help it work better for the whole community.
We listen to people in the community
Our volunteers and members listen to people’s views and experiences of health and social care services in Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster. Using insights from surveys, focus groups, phone calls, and other project work, we write reports with recommendations that inform and influence the design and delivery of services.
We give young people a voice
