South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust is asking people across the region to share their views at a virtual Patient Participation Panel later this month.

The online forum, taking place on Friday 21 November, aims to give patients, carers and anyone interested in local healthcare the chance to speak directly with decision-makers about their experiences of emergency and urgent care.

Organisers say feedback gathered through the panel will help shape improvements to the service now and in the future.

Deanne Hill, Patient Engagement Manager, said the session will offer a “safe, honest and friendly environment” for people to discuss what matters most to them.

“All feedback – positive or negative – helps us learn, grow and provide better care,” she said. “Your input truly makes a difference.”

The panel is open to all members of the public and will run from 10am to 11.30am on Microsoft Teams. Those unable to attend can still share their views through an online feedback form.

An agenda is available on request by emailing PPP@SWAST.nhs.uk.
