Putting people at the heart of our work

Listening to patients is at the heart of our work. As a clinical commissioning group, we plan and commission the majority of local healthcare services in Newcastle Gateshead – and a strong patient voice helps us to make better decisions and improve local NHS services.
That’s why we produce a short publication every year, to outline some of the things we have done over the past year to listen to local people’s views in Newcastle and Gateshead.
Your voice, your health 2020-21 is available to from the link below, and covers work on issues ranging from special needs and urgent care services to young people’s mental health and long-term health conditions.
“If patients are involved in our work, we can make better decisions.”
