Setting a new course for health services in the Borders – we need your help!
As we start the new year, I want us all to consider how NHS Borders and our services should evolve. As a health board we are responsible for providing the care that our patients need, when it is needed; and I am aware of the challenges that we are facing and the improvements we need to make. To start this improvement journey, we need your help. We need your help in telling us what NHS Borders means to you, what you value in our services and where you think we can improve.
This work launched with engagement sessions on Tuesday 7 January 2025 (see further details below). We are reaching out to you in a variety of ways to quickly capture your feedback including an online survey which you can access via QR codes.
There will be engagement sessions for both staff and members of the public in multiple locations across the Borders including community hospitals, GP practices, supermarkets and local clubs. There are also posters with QR codes and ideas walls up around our sites to capture your input that way too.
Your voice really matters and your opinions will genuinely help shape our strategy and our improvement journey. This work is about describing an ambitious future for NHS Borders and the strategy will provide the direction for our collective improvement journey.
I know how precious your time is, and your input is greatly appreciated. Please take 5 minutes to answer 5 questions and encourage your friends and family to do the same through the online survey.
