Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust has a legal duty to involve patients, carers and members of the public in:
- The decisions it makes.
- How services are designed and delivered.
However, we do this because it’s the right thing to do and without your experience we cannot create the best care and treatment possible. Read our strategy or ‘plan’ for making this happen.
Involvement Examples
Safeguarding Voices (young people)
The team worked with the children’s safeguarding team to better understand the experience of young people where safeguarding concerns were raised. The young people shared their experience through interview helping the Trust to:
- Understand their experience of support from Trust staff and the Safeguarding team.
- Share their ideas about what would have improved their experience and the experience of other young people in the future.
Patient Reference Group
This group meets four to six times a year and helps the Trust make decisions about how things work across our hospitals. This might include what the priorities for the Trust are or creating a strategy to support people with mental health difficulties.
Listening Events
You might see or be approached by members of the team to discuss the service you are using or bigger issues that affect the whole Trust. Please talk to us if you feel comfortable to do so your experience and thoughts really helps.
Want to get involved?
If you would like to receive information about different involvement opportunities here at Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust, the team hosts a secure database . This database includes patients, carers and members of the public who gift their time, experience and thoughts to support the Trust in the decisions it makes and service improvement activity.
Typically, you might be asked to complete a survey or receive an invite to join the Patient Reference Group or themed workshop. If you would like to join this database and receive information about involvement opportunities, please email the team using the email address below. When we run events such as workshops, we will also ask you about any access needs you might have.
Alternatively, if you would like to be removed from the database you can email the team using the address below.
