A sector and organisations that represent patient groups, volunteers, citizens and members of the community in England. VCSE organisations often deliver public services in their local area. VCSE engagement in health and wellbeing strategies is important for reducing health inequalities and representing the voices of service users, patients, and carers. NHS England’s VCSE Health and Wellbeing Alliance is an example of involving the sector in interdisciplinary communication, policy development, priority-setting, and implementing services.
