ICS Strategy
Somerset's Big Conversation
Somerset’s Big Conversation roadshow launched across the county at the end of May, aiming to engage with residents about their priorities and raise awareness of key campaigns.
This initiative involved collaboration with colleagues across NHS Somerset and the broader Somerset system to highlight crucial areas such as personalised care, mole checking, hypertension, women’s health and supervised tooth brushing, among others.
The Engagement Team had conversations with diverse people and communities, to discuss our strategy for health and care, posing broad questions to understand what matters most to them. The insights gathered from these conversations are invaluable in aligning our approach, ensuring we focus on the priorities of Somerset’s communities.
Through these roadshows, we aimed to foster deeper connections with residents and tailor our initiatives to better meet their needs and expectations. This was done through face to face conversations and also via an online survey
You Said, We Did
Our ambition was to reach as many Somerset residents as possible to gain valuable insight for future planning and to showcase the amazing work which is happening across the Somerset health and care system.
We are currently analysing all the feedback we heard, through face-to-face conversations, social media and through an online survey.
We will soon be able to share with you our findings and more information about how this insight will be used to shape out work - 'You Said, We Did'.
