What is Involvement?
Involvement is about people using their life skills, knowledge, own lived experience and time to influence how services are planned, delivered, developed and evaluated. Involvement and Co-production is achieved through working together and is at the heart of all we do. This ensures we have a diverse, inclusive and innovative organisation which strengthens links and enables us to shape our services to meet the needs of our local community.
Patient feedbackBack upYour feedback is extremely important to us - it tells us what we are doing well, what we need to improve and what we need to change. By providing feedback, you help us understand what is important to you and allow us to take action so that everyone who uses our services has an outstanding experience. We listen, we act, we respond.
Depending on your circumstances and how you are accessing care at NHFT, your service will ask for your feedback and guide you through the appropriate survey.
VolunteerBack upHelp us run our services
A volunteer is someone who gives their time for free and by choice. They often have skills or knowledge that they want to share.
Volunteers help in many different ways. There are a number of roles volunteers can take on in our Trust. Our volunteers make a difference by working on our wards, supporting our teams and even gardening for us. We hope that you find this page useful.
Volunteering for NHFT can also be a direct route into part or full-time employment.
Please be aware we have a large number of applications and limited roles available. It may therefore take some time to find a suitable role for you.
