Subject - Have your say in health issue!

Posted : (Thursday 28th April 2005 ) By - paulc (Registered User)Patient and Public Involvement Forums are the best way to have an influence in the way your local health service is provided.

There are PPI Forums for every NHS Trust in England and, although Forums are completely independant of the NHS, they play an active role in health related decision making within their communities.

Typical tasks include: obtaining views from the local community about health services, monitoring the effectiveness of local health services and influencing decision making by providing recommendations on local health issues.
