Our NHS Needs You: We need to talk

As a nation, we're immensely proud of our NHS. But we have to be honest with you. Right now, it's in serious trouble. Many parts of the NHS in our area are in great difficulty. Things may sometimes seem broken but we know they can be fixed

We want to build a health and care system that’s fit to respond to today’s challenges and also be there to meet the demands of the coming decades. We all want the NHS to be here for us as we grow older as well as for our children and grandchildren.

We want to do things differently and we want to do it together.This autumn, the local NHS across Humber and North Yorkshire is embarking on We Need to Talk. Over four weeks, we want your ideas on how we can:

• Use technology better
• Improve the way we plan and organise our workforce to boost efficiency, adaptability and job satisfaction
• Focus on preventing illness rather than just treating it
• Listen to your needs and involve everyone in this conversation
• Move more care into the community
• Ensure patient safety and consistent high-quality care everywhere
• Focus on what matters most

You can let us know what you think and share your thoughts by completing our short survey an easy read version is also available.
