What is the Gwent Citizen’s Network ?

The Citizens’ Network is a group of people who live in Gwent. They are asked to share their opinions about health and social care services.

Join the network, attend meetings and events, take part in online surveys or give feedback on reports. You choose what you want to do, and how much you would like to be involved.

Making A Difference

By understanding what people think, we can better use resources and create services that meet local needs. The Network helps us know what residents think about local issues and services. This feedback helps the Gwent Regional Partnership Board make better decisions and improve services and support in the area.

Decisions Made Together

On May 15th, 2024, we held an exciting and thought-provoking event in Newport, focusing on people’s stories and the small things that can make a big impact in people’s lives. The event highlighted the importance of making decisions together and the importance of co-production, in the delivery of care and support. Over 180 attendees joined us for the event, with a shared commitment to working together to improve health, social care, and housing support across the Gwent region. Multi agency partners and citizens were invited, and we had guest speakers, including people who have received health and social care support for themselves or as a carer. Personal experiences were shared, highlighting where support had gone well and been helpful, but also where support and processes need to be improved, to help inform and shape future services and make a more positive impact to people’s lives.
