We are an independent voice for the people of Essex. We gather and represent your views about health and care services in the county to help shape them. We are an independent charity set up under the Health & Social Care Act 2012 and proud hosts to the Essex Neurology Network.

Our work covers all areas of health and social care. We undertake high-quality research and engagement to uncover your lived experience of services. You can view our most recent reports in Our Library.

We can also help you find out about and access health and social care services through our Information & Guidance Service. Call 0300 500 1895, text 07712395398 or between 10am and 2pm on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, use our live chat facility in the bottom right corner of this page. Outside of those times, you can use it to leave us a message.

Check out our Get Involved page to see how you can help to shape services in your area.
