Recording and sharing health and social care information
We want to hear from you! Your experiences and opinions matter when it comes to shaping health and care services. We’re asking for your input on how well you feel health and social care professionals communicate to support you in making the right decisions about your care.
Your insights are vital in helping us improve how vital health and social care information is recorded and shared, making the process smoother and more empowering for everyone.
Take our survey at https://www.letstalksnee.co.uk/embeds/projects/38178/survey-tools/42736 to share your experiences with us - together we can make a real difference in shaping better care for all.
Developing guidance for patients, service users or family carers on reward, recognition and remuneration
Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Partnership have been working with the Patients Association on behalf of the East of England Integrated Care Boards to develop a survey that we can all circulate within our Integrated Care Systems to gather feedback from patients, service users and carers on their views on reward, recognition and remuneration. The feedback will help inform some principles that each Integrated Care Board can consider when developing their own policies for involvement. The link to the survey is below and the closing date is the 31st January:

Good Things Foundation help people do more online
They are looking at how to make people feel more confident to use digital health services, including things like:
• making a GP appointment online,
• a video call with a doctor / nurse,
• using the NHS app or other health apps.
They have been working with people who have faced difficulties doing things online to understand their concerns about digital health services and want to gather views from more people on ideas for a tool to help address these concerns.
Online discussions are being held as follows:
20th or 21st January for community members
16th or 22nd January for healthcare staff
They also have an online survey running throughout January.
To register your interest for one of the online discussions or to take the survey go to https://forms.gle/QoSQhpbCtCnW5Go46
To participate, you don't have to have lots of experience using digital health services as a patient or as a healthcare worker. It's fine just to be interested in this topic and to want to help make digital health services easier to access.
For participants who are not healthcare staff, we can offer a shopping voucher as a thank you for your time.

Making Suicide Prevention Everybody's Business Webinar Series
Relationships Thursday 23rd January 2025 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM GMT
As part of Public Health’s Suicide Prevention Team commitment to making suicide prevention everybody's business, this is the first in a series of webinars that will explore various themes and issues that can impact individuals and prompt them to consider taking their own lives.
Making suicide prevention everybody's business is crucial because it's the interactions people have with each other that have the potential to make a real difference. This month, the focus is on relationship issues. The webinar will reflect on how important it is for those who interact with individuals struggling in this area to have suicide risk on their radar, whether in a professional or personal context.
In order to get the most from it you are encouraged to attend the webinar live if you are able but if you’re not able to it will be able to view as a download. Speakers are from Suffolk Mind, Epicdads, and the National Mediation Service.
