This applies to patients, carers, staff - everyone! And the more people who know about and can use Care Opinion, the more helpful it can become.

- Freepost leaflets -reach people in services where users might not have online access, which ensures that people are not digitally excluded. These leaflets come straight to us and are entered on the website by our staff
