Our Constitution

Our Constitution sets the foundations for everything done by the CCG. It aims to ensure that every member GP practice is able to influence local healthcare services available to their patients.

The constitution is the formal document that outlines all the work that NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin CCG does, how we will work together and commitments for the future.

We are determined to build on what is good within our current services, but also to use our experience to look at how we can improve local healthcare.

It sets out rights to which patients, public and staff are entitled, and pledges which the NHS is committed to achieve, together with responsibilities, which the public, patients and staff owe to one another to ensure that the NHS operates fairly and effectively.

All NHS bodies are required by law to take account of the NHS Constitution in their decisions and actions.
