Patient Panel - Sub Group Supporter (Virtual Opportunity)

Opportunity image

At South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SCAS) we provide 999 emergency services and NHS 111 services to four counties and Patient Transport Services to five counties serving a population of 7 million people.

We aim to continually improve the care and service we provide to our patients and in order to help us achieve this we are looking for volunteers to join our new Patient Panel.

The Patient Panel is made up of representatives from across the SCAS footprint allowing members of the public to be a voice and have their views acted upon.

You will be joining a wide team of volunteers who support SCAS to achieve their aim of providing world class patient care and as such know that you are playing a part in this aim.

Would you be interested in Co-production becoming a Sub Group Supporter of one of our panel Sub Groups?

It is a patient panel that can improve the services provided by SCAS.

Can you be a key member of a group with the aim of identifying what matters most to those that live in our local communities?

Our Sub Groups will consist of a Mental Health Sub-group
Young Person Sub Group and a Learning Disabilities Sub Group.

Our Sub Groups will be part of our main Patient Panel focusing on Co-Production. SCAS values the views and opinions of applicants who have lived experience of Mental Health or Learning Disabilities or are aged 16+ for the Young Person group allowing them to apply their knowledge from the service users perspective.

You will be directly impacting and facilitating change, helping people’s views to be acknowledged and where possible acted on.

Please note you are required to live within one of the five counties that SCAS serves to be eligible for this opportunity. These counties are: Hampshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Sussex.

If you require any of this information and documentation in easy read format or if you would like to have an informal conversation about the role, you can contact Nikhyta Patel, Patient and Public Engagement Facilitator, via email: patientengagement@scas.nhs.uk
