In 2019, National Voices launched a Peer Support Hub – an online bank of high-quality resources for people looking to measure, evaluate, sustain and grow different types of peer support.
June 2022 saw our first ever Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) conference take place on the eve of ICSs becoming statutory bodies to debate a need for a different relationship with communities.
The King’s Fund
We examined the experiences of people who have found administrative problems in the NHS have reduced their ability to access quality care.
Timely access to care is a pressing concern for people who live with health conditions, disability or impairment. This project sets out clear principles and recommendations on how to improve care access.
We hosted a roundtable in May 2023 on what has worked well for patients and what could be improved as part of the NHS Assembly work to celebrate the NHS at 75.
Be the Change: How to tackle racial inequalities in health and care charities, looks back over three years of National Voices’ work on this issue and draws together the collective insights of our members, captured through roundtables.
The project highlights the greatest unmet needs of the people and communities our members support, to inform decisions made by the NHS England and Improvement’s Accelerated Access Collaborative surrounding prioritisation of innovations.
Our work explores how waits, delays and cancellations impact on people and their families, particularly those living with long term and multiple conditions.
This project outlines insights and key issues faced by people with diverse communication needs when accessing primary care services. It proposes that system partners co-design, co-produce, and implement actions to support inclusive communication.
Our nine proposals for the reform of primary care will help make a significant difference for people living with health conditions and disability as well as the primary care workforce. The proposals are signed and supported by over 50 organisations.
