It is estimated that nearly one in four people in England suffer with conditions related to depression, anxiety and stress. People with mental health problems may be accessing health and social care and know a lot about the quality of care. To encourage them to share their experiences of care, the Care Quality Commission (CQC), will be launching a multi-channel public engagement campaign this summer.
CQC are looking for men and women who are happy to be case studies for their campaign.
We will ask people to take part in some or all of the following activity:
Speak to a member of CQC staff about your experiences of care;
Take part in a video where they talk about their experiences of care – whether positive of negative;
Speak to media about their experiences of care.
If you know someone who woudl like to talk about their experiences of care, please encourage people to send an email to yourstories@cqc.org.uk leaving a short description of their experience. Someone from CQC will then be in touch with you to discuss next steps.
CQC has produced a poster which can be used to promote this opportunity.
