Representation Request
We are currently looking for 4-5 PPI reps to help out with a project happening across the Wirral region of the Trust.
CWP will be working in partnership with Rethink (Rethink is a national charity for people with severe mental illnesses and their carer’s). on a project looking at what local groups and organisations in the Wirral area know about Foundation Trusts membership and asking how we can develop involvement and engagement with service user’s carers and members of the local communities.
These experiences will then be used by the Trust to learn from, and ultimately improve the service that CWP provide.
Bob Davies, PPI membership manager is leading the project and is looking for PPI reps to work in partnership with Graham Browning of Rethink to assist at the various meetings.
The meetings will be taking place in February, dates and time to be confirmed
