Your rights
You have a number of different rights as an NHS patient. Many of these are set out in the NHS Constitution.
-
Your rights under the NHS Constitution
The NHS constitution sets out what staff, patients and the public can expect from the National Health Service and what the NHS expects from them in return.
-
Patient experience and making a complaint
The Patient Experience team is here to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have about the ICB or local NHS services.

Patient Choices (Right to Choose)
You have a right to choose your GP practice or where you have other NHS treatment. Here we explain your choices in healthcare, where to find information to help choose and how to complain if choice is not offered.
-
Shared decision-making
Shared decision-making puts you at the centre of decisions about your care and treatment. It means you and a healthcare professional, such as a GP or hospital doctor, talk together to agree what is right for you.
