Community Involvement
If you use Health or Social Care services, or are a carer for someone who does, you can help shape the way services are delivered.
Working in partnership with the Richmond and Twickenham Primary Care Trust and the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, we support users and carers to attend meetings where they can use their valuable experience to influence decision makers. The partnership is looking for people with personal experience of Health or Social Care who are confident in expressing their views and able to use their experience to show how improvements can be made. It is vital that people who use services are able to play a part in its development and influence decision-making.
The local authority and PCT have committed to listen to and act on the concerns of users and carers.
By becoming involved you can:
- Join with other service users and carers in advising health and social care organisations
- Share your views and ideas to help build new and better services
- Receive skills training to play a full role
- Enjoy ongoing support
- Get help with transport and care cover and have any special needs addressed
- Access information
There are various ways of becoming involved, depending on the level of commitment you wish to make.
To find out more, or to get involved, contact Michael Derry, Community Involvement Co-ordinator, at Richmond CVS.
