Welcome to GoNewsUK
Fostering Public Discourse on Vital Public Services
Our Mission
GoNewsUK is a news service dedicated to providing a platform where individuals can share their experiences of publicly funded agencies such as Local Authorities, the NHS, Police and Emergency Services.
Our goal is to encourage interaction with a local journalist in a safe and confidential environment. To have your voice heard whether it is critical or praising of a service you or your friends or family have received. We will not identify you and will not publish your identity or contact details without your prior and express consent. Our journalism mainly focuses on the Counties of Worcestershire and Herefordshire and adjacent areas.
Join us in exploring diverse stories and perspectives that can lead to meaningful discussions and insights into the workings of public services.
We report on complaints relating to NHS care but importantly we would like to report on good news stories where care has been excellent. In these cases we are happy to publicise and name where appropriate, the staff whose contributions have been so valuable.
We report on professional misconduct cases involving all regulatory organisations to include Emeregency Services Disciplinary Hearings, NMC, GMC, HCPC Fitness to Practice Hearings. (Please note we will not usually report on FTP Hearings where the matters mainly concern the health of the person facing allegations).
We are also particularly interested in reporting on the treatment of video bloggers, photographers, videographers and drone users operating legitimately and their interactions with public service staff.
We start from the premis that ‘Whatever can be seen from a public place can be photographed from a public place’. We would welcome the opportunity to report on the activities of any publicly funded agency which attempts to prevent this.
Confidentiality and discretion are assured.
We are not able to take on legal cases and we cannot give legal advice.
This is a website enabling you to make contact with a Journalist who may write and publish an article about your personal experiences with any publicy funded organisation. There is no guarantee of publication.

Hear from those who have shared their stories
Sharing my experience of the NHS with GoNewsUK made me appreciate I am not alone and my problems are experienced by others. It has encouraged me to seek legal redress for the pain and damage caused.

Thanks to GoNewsUK, I was able to speak to someone who was unbiased and wanted to listen about my dreadful experience with the police. At some point, when I feel stronger, I want my story out there so that others don’t have to suffer.
