Local health and care services want to hear your views on frailty

/in News/by Clerk

Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire NHS Integrated Care Board (BSW ICB) is developing a new frailty strategy to improve care, reduce inequalities, and ensure that people living with frailty receive the right support at the right time. You can help by filling in our short survey

 

Why Your Voice Matters

Frailty is a condition that affects many aspects of life — from physical health and emotional wellbeing to independence and access to care. We’ve already heard from people across our region who’ve shared powerful insights into what experiencing frailty means to them, how it impacts daily life, and what support they need.

 

How You Can Help

Now we want to hear from you. Whether you live with frailty, care for someone who does, or simply want to share your thoughts — your input is vital.

 

Complete our short survey here
It only takes a few minutes, and your feedback will directly inform how we design and deliver services across BSW.

Together, we can build a future where everyone affected by frailty receives the care, dignity, and support they deserve.
