What we are

Formed in 2008, National Voices is a coalition of more than 200 national health and social care organisations, coming together to ensure a stronger voice for all those who come into contact with the NHS and care services, and the voluntary organisations that help them.  Our independence of Government, and our wide representation, rooted in service user experiences, gives us the authority we need to influence decision makers.

We believe in people shaping health and social care services. We work to ensure that patients’ and carers’ voices are heard and that they influence decision makers in England.  We strive for a world in which people are  partners in their care: with more choice, control and autonomy in the way they receive services.  This results in better quality care, higher satisfaction with services and better value for money.
