Patient Involvement Volunteer Opportunity

An opportunity to become a volunteer patient representative for Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital's Patient Engagement and Involvement Panel (PEIP) has arisen.

The Hospital Trust are looking to find a couple of suitable people who could be nominated as Powys representatives on the panel, representing Powys patients who receive service from Shrewsbury and Telford. Previous patient representatives may have had specific interests such as Dementia, Sight Impairment, Diabetes, MS and have had links into local patient groups or networks in Powys. The role is about being widely representative of patients receiving services and facilitating voices to be heard by the Hospital in Shrewsbury/Telford.
Mileage/expenses are paid at between £0.21 - £0.27pence per mile. The PEIP are planning a training date in January 2016 for interested people.

Volunteers will need to have recent experience of services and live within the locality served by Shrewsbury and Telford.

If you are interested in obtaining further information about the opportunity, please contact Sally Yigit at Powys Volunteer Centre on 01597 822191 or email sally.yigit@pavo.org.uk.

Expressions of interest need to be with us no later than January 11th, 2016..
