Patients and carers are being invited to take part in Speciality Patient Experience Groups.

Their views are crucial to the Trust and could help shape future services by sharing their valuable insight and perspective.

The speciality groups include the areas of medicine, emergency, surgery, women’s health, maternity, and children and young people, support services and corporate services. These groups will work with services across the specialities to represent the voice of hospital patients.

Hayley Flavell, Director of Nursing, said: “This is an exciting and valuable opportunity for patients and carers to be involved in the services that they use or have used. By gathering the views of our patients and carers we can all work together to help improve the care we provide to our communities.”

If you are a patient or carer who has accessed services within the Trust during 2021 and 2022 then SaTH would love to hear from you.

If you can commit approximately three hours a month to support the work and are interested in learning more, please email sath.patientexperience@nhs.net or contact 01743 261000 ext 3032.

The closing date for applications is Thursday 30 June 2022.
