An image describing the survey with the CQC and NHS logo

This Trust will soon be carrying out a survey to understand what you think about your care.

Over 12,000 people shared their views last year, helping us improve community mental health care. Participation is voluntary and all answers are confidential.

Invitations will be sent from August to November 2026, to a random selection of people who have used community mental health services during April and May 2026.

If you are invited to take part, your name, phone number, and postal address will only be used by researchers to carry out the survey. Your information and survey answers will not be shared with anyone delivering your care, and all published data is anonymised.

If you do not want to take part, or have any questions about the survey please contact:
Phone: 01782 275 031
Freephone: 0800 389 9676

As well as people over the age of 18 who meet the criteria to take part, people between the age of 16-17 years old may also be contacted as part of the survey, view a leaflet about the survey for 16–17-year-olds by clicking here.

The Community Mental Health Survey has Section 251 (NHS Act 2006) approval to process contact details.

Combined Healthcare, alongside other organisations within Staffordshire, Stoke-on-Trent, Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, are looking for organisations that are key contributors to serving our community’s health and social needs for our local population who would be interested in providing stretch placements for the 2026-2027 cohort of the High Potential Scheme (HPS).
Colleagues pose for a photo at the Oliver McGowan training recruitment day
On Thursday 4 June 2026 Combined Healthcare hosted an Oliver McGowan Training Recruitment Day. The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism is named after Oliver McGowan, whose death shone a light on the need for health and social care staff to have better training.  All colleagues at Combined Healthcare are required to complete the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism. To help facilitate the sessions, the Trust is looking to employ more experts with lived experience of autism or learning disability, to support this essential training as co-facilitators.
