A common theme in your feedback during 2025 was the quality of care provided by GPs and nurses. We are committed to including this in our work during 2026/27.
Here are our four other possible topics to choose from.
A. Community health and wellbeing support
Your feedback shows us gaps in community support, causing some people to return to hospital because post-discharge care isn’t reliable. We will gather your experiences of post discharge care and use them to influence the structure of Neighbourhood Health Hubs.
B. Has the NHS referral process improved?
In 2025, you told us NHS referrals were often delayed or lost, and that communication while waiting was unclear. We will look at whether recent national changes have improved the process and use your feedback to help shape services.
C. Men’s health and wellbeing services
Following the launch of the first Men’s Health Strategy in 2025, we want to hear from men in Somerset about their health and wellbeing needs. Their views on services will help improve care and reduce health inequalities and barriers.
D. Support for parent carers of adult children
Our work with carers has highlighted difficulties that parent carers of adult children with learning disabilities and complex neurodiversity face. We aim to understand these challenges and use your insight to improve support services and care for families.
