Community NHS services are a wide range of health and care support delivered closer to home and outside hospitals, for people of all ages—from newborns to those at the end of life.

These community services are delivered by many different types of professionals and often act as the link between GPs, hospitals and social care.

Community services for children and adults in Suffolk include:

• Community nursing
• Physiotherapy and occupational therapy
• Cardiac and stroke rehabilitation
• Podiatry
• Bladder and bowel services
• End-of-life care
• Wheelchair services
• Falls prevention services
• Speech and language therapy
• ...and many more

Why your views matter?

Future services should prioritise prevention, accessibility, and wellbeing. We need your input to shape how these community services are delivered.

Our team (representing 45+ community groups and organisations in Suffolk), will review your answer to co-produce a set of principles. All future community services will be asked to follow these principles in their new contracts.
