Making health and social care information accessible
Views of support and supplier organisations and patient groups
NHS England has begun a programme of work aimed at ensuring that disabled patients, service users and, where appropriate, carers, receive information in formats that they can understand, and that they receive appropriate support to enable them to communicate. This will particularly affect people who are d/Deaf, blind, deafblind, have some hearing or visual loss, or have a learning disability, as well as carers.
We want to ensure that this work is shaped by individuals and organisations that have an interest in it, and have designed a short series of questions specifically to capture the views and experiences of support and supplier organisations, including voluntary organisations, patient groups, local healthwatch, communications professionals and suppliers of accessible information. We would very much appreciate your input.
Please note that there are different surveys aimed at different groups, and different ways for people to get involved. More information can be found at www.england.nhs.uk/accessibleinfo
