Autumn Report 2023
number of committees and groups. The Chair and Chief Officer have a
place on the ICS and ICB forums where we can ensure engagement
and inclusion of public opinion is embedded into service design.
We have also had additional recruits to our Advisory Committee
and volunteering work, which has also enabled us to be present at
a wide range of forums. Our engagement officers have increased our
presence across a range of venues and events. We have undertaken
projects on a wide range of topics including mental health and sexual
health, assisting service design and feeding back patient experience
issues. The whole team have given renewed energy into getting out
and about and taking part in person as meetings and events have
once again opened up following the covid pandemic.
We have welcomed several speakers to our Advisory Committee
meetings from local services and strategic leaders. These have
been warmly welcomed by all with strategic and service leads
welcoming the opportunity to engage with our community."
