How to join the Virtual Views panel to help improve your local health and care services

We all have a part to play in leading a healthier lifestyle and keeping well for longer. Supporting our communities to come together is at the heart of why organisations responsible for providing health and care services have teamed up as Mid and South Essex Integrated Care System. To help us make the right choices in how we plan for the future, we are asking residents to join our Virtual Views citizens’ panel and have a say.

What is the Virtual Views Panel?

The Virtual Views panel will collect the views of a wide range of residents across our area through regular surveys. Our Integrated Care System covers mid and south Essex which includes, Basildon, Braintree, Brentwood, Castle Point, Chelmsford, Maldon, Rayleigh, Rochford, Southend and Thurrock.

The feedback we get from local people will help us continually improve and develop how we work together to provide health and care services to the different communities we serve.

What’s in it for me?

You will have the opportunity to have your views heard by local health and care decision-makers. You will also find out about new plans and ideas from the Integrated Care System. This includes local authorities, hospitals, charities, GP’s and other health care providers. The Virtual Views panel aims to regularly gauge residents’ views on a range of health and care related topics. The information we gather will help shape the choices we make in how we deliver care and support for the 1.2 million people living in our area.
