NHS 10-year health plan
Your chance to be part of the biggest public conversation about health and help us shape the NHS 10 year plan
NHS, Local Authority and Third sector staff are working harder than ever to get services back on track, to get waiting lists down and consistently deliver the best care.
We know change is needed. But we also know that many of the solutions we need are already here, working somewhere in the NHS today.
We in BSW have not shied away from this challenge. We are tackling it head on — redesigning how we deliver care, bringing treatment closer to home and really taking advantage of the latest technology and innovation.
Our staff are our greatest asset, so we know it is not just recovery we need to worry about — it is resilience too. Productivity does not mean asking our staff to do more but giving them the tools they need — whether it’s modern buildings, flexible working or better-connected tech — to work more efficiently, and therefore provide better, faster, safe care for patients.
That’s why we are playing our part in the launch the consultation for the 10-Year Health Plan alongside the government, and we want to hear from you — patients, their families and the wider public — about your NHS story.
Whether you have a little to say or a lot, your views, experiences and ideas will shape immediate steps and long-term changes: a new 10-Year Health Plan for the NHS.
We want your help in shaping the NHS 10 year plan
Thinking ahead 10 years, what would you want your NHS in Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire to be like?
What is going to change for you over the next 10 years and how can your NHS best support you and those around you over that time?
Between November 2024 and February 2025 members of the public, staff and patients from across BSW are being invited to share their experiences, views and ideas for improving the NHS.
People are being encouraged to fill in the local survey even if they have already completed the national one. This is to ensure that insights from local people can be used to improve local services.
