BNSSG Healthier Together

The Citizens Panel (also known as the Healthier Together Panel)

Knowing what local people think about health and care issues is really important to us. We want you to have your say and help influence decisions about health and care services.

What is the Citizens Panel?

The panel is a great way to gather insights from a representative sample of the Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire population.

Insights from this panel will be used to shape and influence our plans for the future of health and care. This is in addition to other established engagement and involvement activities that take place across our partner organisations.

We will publish the results of all surveys as they become available.

We strive to make all our materials as accessible as possible, please email bnssg.engagement@nhs.net if you would like these reports in any other formats or languages.

How do we recruit to the panel?

Jungle Green is a Bristol-based market research agency that is working on behalf of Healthier Together and Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board (ICB) to support the Citizens’ Panel.

Jungle Green invite people to join the panel using a range of methods including face-to-face recruitment in local shopping centres and high streets.

Even if you haven’t been approached about joining the Citizens Panel, there are other ways to get involved…

Have your say in the development of our Five Year System Plan.
