Join us this February for 'Share for Better Care Week'.

Feedback about NHS and social care support helps services spot problems, identify what's working well, and areas for improvement. But six in ten people don’t remember ever having done this.

You can help change this by supporting Share for Better Care Week, which begins on 24 February 2025.

Whether you work in the NHS or social care or receive support from them, you can play your part by asking others to give three minutes of their to share feedback on care.  

More about the week

Despite having busy lives, most people are willing to spare a few minutes to share their health and care experiences, especially if they think it will help improve health services.

Share for Better Care Week will highlight how everyone can transform an everyday spare moment - whether waiting for the kettle to boil or the bus to arrive -into an opportunity to make a positive impact by sharing feedback about their care.

By getting involved, you can raise awareness about why health and social care services value feedback, and the difference it makes and encourage more people to act.
