Our patient and public engagement (PPE) team is starting a
discussion with staff, patients and other interested people on how
we should reward and recognise those who get involved in the work
we do.
Emily Bigland, patient and public engagement lead, said:
"Patients, carers and friends might, for example, volunteer with
us, join user groups, go to focus groups or become members of our
Trust and attend meetings or events. We need to determine how to
reward and recognise this involvement.
"We know that our current approach to service user reward and
recognition is inconsistent so we want to develop a trust-wide
policy and we need your help to make sure we get it right".
We've got a few ideas and options we're considering and you can
read
about these in the discussion paper here.
