Patient Participation Panel - Your voice matters, so let's talk! 

What is the Patient Participation Panel?

Here at the South Western Ambulance Service (SWASfT), we are always looking for ways to improve the care and service we provide to you. We are keen to identify what matters most in your local community and have launched a new way that you can have your say!

You, members of the public and our patients, are what is most important to us and your voice is truly invaluable. We are looking for you to join us in our mission to make SWASFT the very best it can be by enrolling in our Patient Participation Panel. We want to collect your views (positive and negative) to help influence informed changes and make better the services we offer.

The meetings will take place every other month on the second Friday, and will be held virtually to enable as many members as possible to represent their area, and of course you don’t have to attend every panel, so you can choose when you'd like to take part (meaning you can choose the subjects that matter most to you)!

If you have the time to donate just one hour a month to share your views with our team you would make such a difference to your local communities, to the service we provide, and the way we engage with our patients.

For more information, please contact the team via Corporate.meeting@SWAST.nhs.uk.

Use the form below to sign up to our Patient Participation Panel. Make a difference, have your say.
