After each survey we will produce a report detailing the results. You will be able to find the results of all our surveys on the ICB website.

We aim to recruit 800 people to the Panel.

We want to engage people of all ages, as well as gender, ethnicity and background, to ensure we get as much public representation as possible.

We will ask people to join the Citizens’ Panel who are representative of the local community and reflect the diversity of the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire’s population. We particularly want to hear from people who we do not hear from as much.

Anyone aged over 16 who lives in Nottingham City, Mansfield, Ashfield or Newark and Sherwood can join the panel.

If you decide that you no longer wish to take part in the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Citizens’ Panel you can asked to be removed at any time by contacting us via email or telephone.

No, the panel is just one way that NHS Nottingham & Nottinghamshire can listen to you.  

The Citizens’ Panel also doesn’t replace other ways to engage, it will work in addition to NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire’s existing public involvement activities. Please see our website for all our engagement activities and opportunities: Get Involved – NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire ICB.

Nottingham and Mid Nottinghamshire have been chosen as the initial areas of the panel. We look forward to learning from the Panel and rolling it out to the other areas in the coming years.
