Patient and Public engagement sits at the heart of our work using population insight and patient experience to, shape and ultimately drive our plans. Our work will enable a greater understanding of the needs and desires of our community to help us make more effective decisions to deliver better health outcomes. Our aim is for services to be co-produced with our community, ensuring that their needs and experiences shape both the design and delivery. By listening and acting upon patient and carer feedback at all stages of commissioning, we can ensure the services we commission are high quality, meet the needs of our population, and continuously improve.
We support the nationally developed principles (pdf, 415KB) for engaging people and communities in our work.
