10,000 Stories

Share your views to make a difference
Share your views online, or contact us via email or phone. The more people share their ideas, experiences and concerns about National Health Service (NHS) and social care, the more services can understand what works and what doesn't.
Herefordshire Community Partnership
Along with our partners hvoss and Talk Community, we have set up the Herefordshire Community Partnership.
It is vibrant forum for the public, health and care services, and voluntary and community sector organisations to work in partnership. It aims to ensure that services are delivered in the best way possible.
