Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) Forum
"Have your say in Health"
Local people are helping monitor and influence the health service in Gloucestershire
This is being done through six independent Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) Forums and includes a Forum working with the Partnership Trust. The Forum is a statutory body made up of local volunteers from a wide range of backgrounds, and aims to represent the views of local people from all walks of life.
All PPI forums are required to operate in an open manner and, as a result, many of their meetings are held in public.
Working together
Each forum has developed a workplan to identify areas where it can work with its respective NHS Trust to review services and address concerns. These work plans will regularly change to ensure that they continue to reflect the views of the public and developments within the Trusts. In addition, all six forums will work together to share experiences and to address common issues. Click here to view the latest Partnership Trust workplan
