I am pleased to be working with Age UK North, South & West Dorset to provide free call blockers to protect Dorset's most vulnerable residents from scam calls and fraudsters.

I am absolutely committed to investing in practical tools that make a real difference to people’s lives. Protecting people from becoming victims in the first place must always be at the heart of our approach.

A huge thank you to all the carers who joined us – your openness, ideas and support for one another made the session really special. 💙

Don’t miss this opportunity to share your experience through this survey and help influence government, the NHS, and policymakers to deliver the improvements patients need and deserve.

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/EofC26Q6

Your experiences of the NHS matter and they can drive real change. The Patients Association works directly with patients to inform recommendations that influence health and care policy, hold decision-makers to account, and improve how services partner with patients.

The Association is asking for ten minutes of your time to complete its Patient Experience survey. It wants to hear about your experiences with NHS services over the last six months: what’s working well, what isn’t, and what needs to change.

Take this survey powered by surveymonkey.com. Create your own surveys for free.
