We need your help to get prospective parliamentary candidates (the people who hope to be elected as Members of Parliament) to sign up to the Pledge for Patients campaign.
We want to target prospective parliamentary candidates in every constituency in the UK. If you are able to, please send letters, emails and social media posts to as many candidates standing in your constituency as you can!
We have templates and guidance on how you can contact your prospective parliamentary candidate via:
