Residents are being asked to share their views on three key aspects of healthcare to help shape new strategies from Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care Board (ICB) that will be launched in 2025.
Residents are now able to complete a survey with their views about each area for the strategies that are currently being developed, namely All-Age Respiratory, Healthy Ageing and Frailty, and all-Age Palliative and End of Life Care.
Dr Rachel Gallyot, ICB Clinical Director for the End of Life, Long-Term Conditions and Frailty programme of work, said: “Ensuring we reflect the needs of our local communities is a key priority. We welcome as many different views and responses as possible from residents across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent.”
The surveys are available to access at the Get Involved section of the ICB’s website and are open until Sunday 27 October 2024.
