Our aim is to improve health and social care services in Central Bedfordshire.
To do this we need your feedback about local GP surgeries, hospitals, dentists, pharmacies, opticians, social care, emergency care and community based health teams. With this, we are able to inform, liaise, influence and, if necessary, challenge decisions and plans.
For all of this, we need your help!
Please help us by sharing your experiences of all or any of these services by clicking on the button below.
Tell us when things are going well and when they’re not, so we can do something about it.

Circle MSK Survey Results
Late last year Circle MSK commissioned us to conduct an independent patient experience survey to gather feedback from patients who have had experience of their musculoskeletal services in Bedfordshire during the twelve months prior to December 2017.
Our new report details our findings and provides suggestions on how the service could be improved.

NHS 111 Service Survey Results
We carried out a snapshot survey at two recent JUST ASK events and on our website during April & May this year. We asked people ‘How satisfied are you with the NHS 111 service? and provided five ratings; Very Satisfied, Satisfied, Neither Satisfied or Dissatisfied, Dissatisfied.
We had a total of 132 responses. 59% of respondents were either Very Satisfied or Satisfied with service, 31% were Dissatisfied or Very Dissatisfied with the remaining 10% being Neither Satisfied or Dissatisfied with NHS 111.

Well Done Nicola!
One of our volunteers was nominated for the Outstanding Contribution Award at the brilliant Cheering Volunteering 2018 awards. Nicola Kidby, who provides tremendous help with our accounts, received a highly commended – Well Done Nicola! Unfortunately, Nicola was unable to attend the ceremony so our CEO, Diana Blackmun, collected it on her behalf.
