Neighbourhood Health is coming, and our local Integrated Neighbourhood Teams (INTs) are already working more closely together to better support patients, carers and the wider community. But so far, we — the patients, service users, carers and public — haven’t been asked what we think. And that matters.
We’ve long championed the principle of “No decision about us without us,” and the South Woodham Ferrers Health & Social Care Group is determined to make sure that principle is upheld. That’s why the Group has commissioned an independent academic study, in partnership with the University of Warwick Medical School, to capture the views of people across South Woodham Ferrers, the Dengie and Maldon.
This is your opportunity to shape the direction of local health and social care — and it may be the only one we get. If we don’t speak up now, we risk simply being handed decisions that were made without us.
Taking part takes around 20 minutes. Before you start, watch the short explanatory video (1 min 50 secs) at https://youtu.be/nnGLc2EVXX0, then complete the survey at https://warwick.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9uYcv6y4zybHzSu
The survey closes on 31 May 2026. Please do share this with friends, family and neighbours — every response counts.
