Healthwatch Sheffield Report on NHS 'Long Term Plan'

Healthwatch Sheffield Report on NHS 'Long Term Plan'

Last year Healthwatch England asked their national network of local organisations to find out from local people what they thought about the NHS Long Term Plan.

Healthwatch Sheffield have launched their report on the responses of people in Sheffield to the 10 year plan.

Key themes are:-

· The importance of support in your communityNHS services being available and accessible near to where you live, and having voluntary sector groups or organisations as a means of support.

· Person-centred care – being involved in decisions and having advice tailored to you. This included acknowledgement of your care as whole, rather than focusing on different conditions or illnesses separately, as well as considering what might aid your access to services, e.g. translation.

· The importance of prevention of illnesses – including early treatment of illnesses to stop people getting to crisis point and education to help you stay well.

· Concerns around the expansion of digital technologies – it was felt that people who didn’t have access to the internet or weren’t confident with technology were at risk of exclusion.

You can find a full electronic version of the report here.

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)
