Patient and Family Partner Programme

How to get involved with our Patient and Family Partner Programme

 
If you or a loved one have received care at KGH, or you simply want to help us improve the experience of our patients, please consider joining our Patient and Family Partner programme. As someone who has experience of our services or has supported someone to use our services, you have valuable insight that could shape the hospital.
 
Opportunities for involvement include:
Patient Information Committee - design and review information intended for patients to ensure it is informative, readable and understandable.
Patient Stories - collate and share patient stories for the purpose of learning and training of staff.
Patient and Carer Focus Groups - attend and support events and focus groups designed to collect feedback or co-design solutions on a particular topic.
Collecting Feedback - supporting our patients, families and carers to give their feedback in the best way for them.
Quality Improvement - be part of a project team looking at how to make quality improvement within certain areas. Use your own experience to help inform the direction of the project.
Committee/Group Member - share your patient or family perspectives in a variety of committees and groups that review and plan services throughout the hospital.
 
Patient and Family Partners are registered KGH volunteers who are actively involved in ensuring the patients voice us heard at all times within the organisation.
