Fit For the Future

In January 2021, the Center for New Democratic Processes, in partnership with Citizens Juries cic, conducted the Fit For the Future (FFTF) Citizens’ Jury project. FFTF is a program from Gloucestershire NHS organizations (“One Gloucestershire”) which proposes changes to how certain specialist hospital services are organized across the two main sites: Gloucestershire Royal and Cheltenham General Hospitals. This 8-day online jury assessed the reorganization of hospital services at Cheltenham General and Gloucestershire Royal hospitals. NHS Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group commissioned the study.
