The findings from Somerset’s Big Conversation 2025 have now been published. This work brought together the views and experiences of people and communities from across Somerset to help shape future health and care services. 

Nearly 4,000 people took part through events, surveys and communityled activity, sharing thousands of comments about what matters most to them. This feedback is already being used to inform planning and decisionmaking across health and care services. 

The full report includes an executive summary as well as more detailed findings.

More information about engagement and having your say is also available on the Somerset SEND Local Offer: Somerset’s SEND Engagement and Participation Strategy.
