Help shape the future of urgent and emergency care in Doncaster

Blog - 3 October 2025

Healthwatch Doncaster has been at the table right from the start of these conversations, making sure that the voice of patients, families and communities is central to the redesign of urgent and emergency care.

The NHS has now published the first proposal for how urgent and emergency care services could change in Doncaster. This is an important moment – and we want to hear from as many local people as possible.

👉 What do you think?
    •    Does the proposal reflect the challenges you’ve experienced when using urgent or emergency services?
    •    Will it make care easier to access and more joined-up?
    •    What would you like to see done differently?

Your feedback will help shape how these vital services develop and make sure they work for the people who need them most.

Alongside the survey, we’ll also be running focus groups with specific communities – such as the Deaf community – to make sure all voices are heard. Details of these opportunities will follow soon.
