Experiences of Care Engagement

Have you or someone you cared for recently used NHS services? Share your experiences of care.

We would like to hear from our patients and groups from all communities, towns and villages across Lincolnshire to help us to understand your experiences, both good and areas that you feel require improvement, in using NHS services.

Background

The ICB’s Equality Forum is attended by the Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board and all three trusts in Lincolnshire.

As part of the work in the Forum’s Equality and Diversity Action Plan it was identified that we needed to understand whether accessing NHS services was different for certain sectors of our communities, for example, those who identify as having a protected characteristic.

This resulted in a survey being created to explore the barriers and challenges of accessing an NHS service.

As we analyse the data and responses, we will aim to target those communities who we do not connect with very often and those who identify as having a protected characteristic.
