35,420 people shared their experiences of health and care on @careopinion.org.uk last year (2025/26). In my latest blog I reflect on why these stories matter and what they can teach us about listening to the public. www.careopinion.org.uk/blogposts/13...

🎄On Day 12, our final Advent door opens The Gift of Stories. Fraser reflects on what has shaped Care Opinion for 20 years by thanking those who share their experiences, those who respond with care, and those who turn listening into learning and change. 🎁 www.careopinion.org.uk/info/advent-...
Re-reading this story a year on, especially with Christmas coming around again, it still has an impact. It captures a moment of care that stayed with the family after they went home together on Boxing Day, and it continues to move those who come across it a year later. www.careopinion.org.uk/1303035
🎄 Day 11 is special as we share a blog from our very first team member, @miriamra.bsky.social, looking back on 20 years of @careopinion.org.uk and what it means to build change that lasts. Read the full blog here👇 www.careopinion.org.uk/info/advent-...

Our calendar on day 5, “How does it make people feel to be listened to?” @careopinion.org.uk #onlinefeedback ✨
Care Opinion@careopinion.org.uk · 9mo ago🎄On Day 5, we’re reflecting on a simple phrase we see again and again on @careopinion.org.uk: “They listened.” Today’s post explores what it means to feel acknowledged, valued and truly heard. Take a look👇 www.careopinion.org.uk/info/advent-...
🎄Day 4 explores the side of Care Opinion many people never see: the stories shared with us by phone. This season of listening highlights how meaningful it is when someone chooses to share their experience; a gift that helps us all learn and improve care. 🔗 www.careopinion.org.uk/info/advent-...

Today’s post reflects on our team’s culture: the kindness, humour, support and our mission that shape how we work and why it matters. Our team share what working at Care Opinion means to them: www.careopinion.org.uk/info/advent-...
Our analysis of @careopinion.org.uk data showed how much patients have internalised these inaccurate campaigns about inappropriate use of A&E. I really believe that this nonsense, and war metaphors, harm patient experience in already miserable situations.
Stuart Hoddinott@stuarthoddinott.bsky.social · 9mo agoCompletely agree with Ben here. The NHS press release is even weirder, describing the NHS as "under siege" from these minor conditions Shows a complete unwillingness in the NHS to engage with the actual reasons for long A&E waiting times
On my shift at @oxfordmutualaid.bsky.social on Monday we had virtually no fruit or veg, virtually nothing in the fridges, and low stocks of bread. This is partly because of so many recent emergency requests for food parcels, way more than usual.
Saul Staniforth@saulstaniforth.bsky.social · 9mo ago"Foodbanks are at breaking point this winter.. [Trussell] expect to hand out an emergency food parcel every 10 seconds over the next 3 months" The UK has the sixth largest economy in the world #GMB
Just back from an inspiring week with @careopinionau.bsky.social. Different countries, different systems, but the same truth: when people share their stories and staff listen with care, real change happens. Huge thanks to the CO Australia team www.careopinion.org.uk/blogposts/13...

Update from Care Opinion Ireland

On Care Opinion, stories aren’t just good or bad. They’re personal. One story thanked the Asha Centre at #WHSCT and suggested a small change about the butter. The service listened and responded with a change: www.careopinion.org.uk/1389147#1404... Even small changes can have a real impact.
