Get Involved
We want you to have your say about health and care services in York.
We are committed to ensuring that patients’ needs are at the heart of everything we do. Within this section you read about how we enable people to voice their views and contribute to plans and decisions about services.
Engaging with our communities
Our plans and projects will only be successful if they are informed by the needs, wants and desires of the local people they seek to serve.
We are committed to involving local people as far as possible in the work that we are doing. We will strive to be as open and transparent as possible in all that we do. Read more about the commitment to engagement.
How to get involved
We want to hear your views and ideas about how we should tackle the challenges our health and care system faces. As we develop our plans and ideas there will be different opportunities for you to help shape the future of local services by asking questions, making suggestions and sharing your ideas. Check out our Engagement Hub for the latest opportunities to get involved.
If you are interested in finding out more, want to share feedback or ask a question, please contact us using the online contact form.
Current opportunities to have your say in York:
Adult Autism and ADHD
We are reviewing the Adult Autism and ADHD diagnostic pathway, so that it can better meet the needs of those who use it.
Urgent care engagement
In Spring 2023 we commissioned Healthwatch York and Healthwatch North Yorkshire to conduct follow up engagement of people’s experiences of urgent care. Between May and July 2023 they talked to nearly 400 people waiting at the four Urgent Treatment Centres (UTCs) in York, Scarborough, Selby and Malton.
