Get Involved in NHS Greater Manchester Health Services

NHS Greater Manchester is calling on residents to help shape local health services, with multiple opportunities to have your say on everything from IVF treatment to eye care. The health authority has launched several consultations and engagement projects across the ten boroughs, including Oldham, aiming to make services more responsive to community needs.

Recent consultations on IVF treatment cycles and adult ADHD services have already closed, but new opportunities are available for residents to contribute their views. The eye care services engagement is currently seeking input on how to improve care for people with eye disorders, while the interpretation and translation services project aims to ensure language barriers don't prevent anyone from accessing healthcare.

The engagement process is designed to be accessible to everyone, with monthly public board meetings where residents can hear directly from health leaders about plans and priorities. These meetings welcome all community members, including those who need additional support to attend, reflecting the NHS's commitment to inclusive decision-making.

The site includes accessibility tools through Recite Me, allowing users to translate content, adjust text size, and have information read aloud.

Getting involved is straightforward-residents can contact the engagement team via email at [email protected] or by phone, text, or WhatsApp at 07786 673762. The team promises to call back to avoid using your mobile minutes, showing attention to practical barriers that might prevent people from participating in shaping their local health services.
