About us
We are one of 148 independent local organisations set up by the government to ensure that decision-makers and health and social care services put the experiences of people at the heart of their work.
What do we want?
Our vision is that your experiences, ideas and opinions make a positive difference to the way health and social care is provided in Buckinghamshire.
How will we make that happen?
Our mission is to ensure that the collective voice of people using health and social care services is heard, considered and acted upon.
Our objectives are to:
- Listen to you, the residents of Buckinghamshire, so we understand what you think about health & social care
- Influence the right people so that your views make a difference to health and social care services
- Change the way health and social care services are commissioned and delivered for the better
We always ask ourselves….
what difference does this make for patients and other service users?
