How the Patients' Council gets involved
Our most direct involvement in the work of the Trust takes place through our representation on Trust project groups and committees. This provides a two-way route, with the whole Council being kept informed of the work in progress and also being able to contribute directly into the decision making process from the perspective of patients.
