Let's Talk launched
Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Integrated Care System (ICS) has launched Let’s Talk: Your health & care today, an exciting new opportunity for local people to shape the future of their health and care services.
The ICS is a local health and care partnership that includes voluntary, community and social enterprise sector organisations; local authorities; and NHS providers. Since its official launch on 1 July 2022, the partnership has been working together to improve the health and wellbeing of communities across Cambridgeshire & Peterborough.
Local people who live or work in the area are at the heart of the Integrated Care System’s work. That’s why the ICS is now asking everyone to take part in Let’s Talk, by filling in a short survey to have their say.
The survey covers a range of topics that are important to our communities – including access to health and social care, support for our children and young people, and wider issues that can affect health and wellbeing such as financial pressures and housing.
Over the next five weeks ICS teams will be encouraging local communities across the area to take part in Let’s Talk, both online and face-to-face. The findings from Let’s Talk will help inform the ambitious plans of the ICS going forward – working together for healthier futures.
Jan Thomas, Chief Executive Officer at Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Integrated Care System, said:
“To best support the health and wellbeing of our local communities we want to find out more about the things that matter most to you. That’s why we’re excited to launch Let’s Talk to give you the opportunity to have your say and shape the future of health and care across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
“We want to listen to you, and understand what we need to do to support your wellbeing in the future. Thank you for spending time filling out this short survey and help us shape the future of health and care in our area.”
Jyoti Atri, Director of Public Health at Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council, added:
“There are many different services across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough that affect our health and wellbeing. It is our ambition to make these services the best they can be, wherever you may live. This conversation with our local communities will help to shape how we tackle the key issues that we face now and over the coming years.
“Please take part in the questionnaire – this is everyone’s chance who lives, works or studies in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough to have their say on how to improve everyone’s health and wellbeing.”
People can find out more about Let’s Talk by visiting the ICS website and complete the survey by 10 November 2022.
