Change NHS poster - thank you for having your say on the future of the NHS

Change NHS

We launched Change NHS in October 2024 to hear people’s views, experiences, and ideas to help shape a new 10 Year Health Plan for England. This has been the biggest ever conversation about the future of the NHS, with over 220,000 contributions from the public and health and care staff.

Thank you to healthcare staff who have taken part.

The surveys on Change NHS are now closed to ensure that we can capture the insights that people have shared to help us finalise a new 10 Year Health Plan for the NHS.

Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks and make sure to register at change.nhs.uk to keep up to date and be the first to hear about when the Plan is published.
