The adult involvement bank is free to join and open to anyone over the age of 18 who has experienced the trust as a patient, carer or relative in the past three years.
You choose what to be involved in:
- Come to workshops and events
- Design and review leaflets
- Design and complete surveys
- Give feedback on new products and ideas
- Participate in staff training
- Research projects
- Support staff recruitment
- Take part in inspections
- Take part in meetings
We will always support you as much as we can to make sure you can be involved.
It's been a brilliant opportunity to have a voice as a service user / patient. Today we have generated a lot of ideas.
I really enjoyed the workshop. The idea was to get those who use the service to think about what is important to them and for me it is really important that services think of what the needs of people are, rather than us having to fit in to a service that is already written.
