The Future of Urgent Health and Care in Suffolk and North East Essex

This report brings together the insights of 483 people, including community members, carers, volunteers, and professionals, who generously shared their experiences and ideas to shape the future of urgent care. It also outlines our process and evaluation of embedding co-production within strategic commissioning.
Sincere thanks go to everyone who took part, shared the survey, and hosted community conversations. The Insight & Oversight Group's honesty, expertise, and commitment were invaluable in shaping the co‑produced strategic plan.
Do share this report as widely as you can, in particular back to the groups and individuals whose voices we heard.

To make sure we hear from as many people as possible we have created a new confidential survey in which we

Carers Voices
Healthwatch Essex are running a survey to gather information about unpaid carers and employment.
For many unpaid carers, balancing employment with caring responsibilities can be an uphill struggle. Carers often face significant barriers to securing meaningful and sustainable employment. This survey produced on behalf of Essex County Council aims to explore those barriers and provide better insights to inform the changes needed by policymakers, employers, and support organisations.
