Healthwatch is the independent champion for people who use health and social care services. We listen to people’s experiences and views and use what we hear to help improve local and national services.
The Department of Health and Social Care has announced plans to create a new NHS online trust, which would provide some NHS services digitally, such as online appointments, consultations, and support. The aim is to make it easier for people to access care and manage their health online.
This will initially focus on the following specialities: Urology, Gastroenterology, Gynaecology and Opthalmology and the aim is to reduce waiting times, with the equivalent of up to 8.5 million appointments and assessments being delivered in its first three years.
More information about NHS Online can be found here.
Healthwatch wants to understand what people think about the planned online trust. Your feedback will help ensure that people’s views are considered as these plans develop.
