Share for Better Care Week 2025

Page last updated: 25 February 2025

Join us this February for ‘Share for Better Care Week’. The awareness week runs from Monday 24 Friday to Sunday 2 March 2025. Get involved and help more people speak up about their care.

Why should you take part?

Your feedback about health and social care matters. Your feedback about health and social care matters. It helps services to spot and identify what’s working well, and what areas need to improve.

You can help make a difference by supporting Share for Better Care Week, which starts on 24 February 2025.

Whether you work in health or social care or receive support from them, you can play your part by encouraging others to give a few minutes of their time to share feedback about their care.

What will happen during the week?

Many people lead busy lives. Yet, they are often willing to take some time to share their care experiences – especially if it can improve health services.

Share for Better Care Week shows how everyone can turn everyday moments into opportunities for change. Whether you're waiting for the kettle to boil or catching a bus, take a moment to share your care experience – whether good or bad. Your feedback, whatever it may be, helps drive improvements in health and care.

When you speak up about your healthcare experiences, you help services understand what works and what needs improving. Plus, your involvement encourages others in your community to share their voices too.
