The teams at Locala are committed to our patients, and the wider community, being at the heart of all that we do. We want to hear what our patients and communities are saying, and involve you in how our community healthcare services are delivered. There are different ways you can get involved including:

Becoming a member - be better informed about Locala and our services, and receive invitations to complete surveys, attend events, be a mystery shopper, look at patient feedback and join in discussions - you can be involved as much, or as little, as you like.

Volunteering to work directly with our services - you can use your skills and experiences to support our services and benefit our patients.

Being a youth network member - for 11 to 19 year olds we have a new youth network with young people invited to consider the health, wellbeing and community issues that affect them.

Or simply visiting the Tell Us What You Think page to tell us what you think about the services you have used. We do listen and do make changes based on the feedback we get.
