Residents of Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent are invited to share their experiences of using the area's health and care services so they can be improved in the future.

The Integrated Care Board is seeking locals to join its People's Panel, which already has over 2,500 members.

Panel members will share their opinions and feedback by completing online surveys and attending focus groups where issues can be discussed with other members.

The ICB said: "The Integrated Care Board's (ICB) People's Panel is our specially-selected panel of local people who are at the heart of helping us to achieve our vision to make Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent the healthiest places to live and work in England.

"We are inviting members of the public to play an active role in helping to improve these services, for the benefit of everyone.

"Wherever you live in Staffordshire or Stoke-on-Trent and whatever your background, your experiences are important to us.

"You can help to make a difference to health and care services in your local area."

It is hoped that the panel will be made up of people from different sections of the community who can offer a diverse selection of views.
