Join Our Big Conversation about Mental Health and Learning Disability services - extended until 9 August

People across County Durham and Darlington, Teesside, North Yorkshire and York are being asked to share their views to help improve future mental health and learning disability services in the region.

Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust (TEWV) re-launched their listening campaign, Our Big Conversation, and is asking people to share their thoughts, ideas and insights to help improve the quality of care it provides for patients, carers and families. 

It's important that they hear from as many people as possible, to help the Trust build a clearer picture of the big actions they need to make to improve their services in the future. 

To give as many people as possible an opportunity to contribute, we’re extending Our Big Conversation by one week. The conversation will continue until Friday 9 August 2024.

In August 2020 when the campaign was first launched, over 2,100 people shared 35,800 ideas, comments and votes.

This year the Trust is asking four key questions:

  1. Our journey so far

What are the things we’ve done well over the last few years to improve the experience we provide to people in our care, families and carers, our colleagues and our partners?

2. Improving the experience of people in our care and their families and carers.

What big things should we start, stop or change to deliver an exceptional experience to people in our care, their families and carers?

3. Improving the experience of our colleagues 

What big things should we start, stop or change to deliver an exceptional experience to our colleagues?

4. Improving the experience of our partners

What big things should we start, stop or change to be a great partner?
