Are you interested in working with colleagues here at Blackpool to improve healthcare?

Can you work effectively with other people?

Would you be happy to share your experiences of our services?

If the answer is yes, then we would love to hear from you.  Our Trust is looking to recruit patient representatives to join our Influence Panel

You can be a service user, a carer, relative or from a local voluntary organisation.  We are particularly keen that membership of the panel is representative of the wide range of people we care for and who live in the communities we serve. 

You would be expected to attend virtual and/or face to face meetings and champion the voice of patients and service users in the planning and development of services. 

As an Influence Panel member you will:

  • Work with staff to ensure the patient voice is embedded within improvement projects
  • Sit on recruitment panels for new staff members
  • Ensure that improvement projects are designed and produced as a team
  • Review patient information leaflets produced by the Trust
  • Review / inspect services or facilities, in conjunction with staff

For more information or an informal chat please, contact the Patient Experience Team on 01253 953548 or via email on bfwh.patientexperience@nhs.net ​​​​​.
