Reminder: VCS engagement with health and wellbeing boards survey – Closing date 6 March

Regional Voices has launched its second survey asking the VCS about engagement with health and wellbeing boards, including what is working well, what could work better and what support would help.

The results of the survey will be used to influence policy makers, develop support mechanisms and share interesting practice

The survey is aimed voluntary sector representatives on health and wellbeing boards; Healthwatch representatives on health and wellbeing boards; and the wider VCS.

The survey asks about routes into the health and wellbeing board, including how the VCS is able to influence the joint strategic needs assessment, the health and wellbeing strategy and local commissioning. Regional Voices hope to capture how engagement with the boards is changing over time.

The survey should take 10 to 15 minutes to complete and the closing date is 10am on Thursday 6 March.
