Get Involved

What do you think about local health services? Why not get involved and tell us what you think?

Principia have produced a film highlighting the great work of patients in the local area, and how they’re involved in making decisions about health services. The film includes interviews from Andy Warren, Principia Patient Chair, Debbie Page, community diabetes nurse, and Glyn Winson, a support worker on Principia’s Urgent Community Support Service.

As the local NHS, it’s really important that all health services reflect the needs of everyone living in Rushcliffe. Here at Principia, we’re really keen to hear your feedback and comments on local health services – whether it’s good or bad.

• What do you think needs improving?
• Do you need more information on accessing local services?
• Do you have a long term condition and need extra support?
• Do you want to help develop local services for the benefit of everyone?

Your views help us to shape and plan local services to ensure they meet the needs of people who use them. So why not get involved with Principia? There are lots of ways of getting involved that suit your lifestyle:
