Patient & Family Engagement Group

PATIENTS AND FAMILIES AT THE HEART

 Patients and families remain at the heart of our network and your opinions and ideas for the future of the service and how it is delivered is key to success and longevity of the network.  

The Patient & Family Engagement Group

This public voice group participates in discussions, critiques relevant information and documentation and champions the voice of service users across the North East and North Cumbria Congenital Heart Disease Network (NENC-CHDN). It provides a balanced view of Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) services, both positive and negative.

Can I join?

Everyone who uses the service or may do so in the future can join the group: patients, families, carers etc. We aim to have representation from a variety of subgroups across the patient population.

Why we want YOU to join?

Your views should inform service development, this helps us get services right for patients and supports continuous improvement across the North East and North Cumbria. We recognise and value the contribution of those who use the CHD services in shaping the future health care provision in our region across the organisations.

What do members do?

Participation can take place in a variety of ways: email surveys, social media, forums, working groups, group meetings, board meetings and national meetings.

How do I join?

Please get in touch on nuth.enquiries-nencchdn@nhs.net if you would like to contribute to the future development of the network, we can’t wait to have you on board!
