Our Hospital Helpers

Our Hospital Helpers are patients and carers who kindly work with us to improve care for patients with Learning disabilities and Autism. 

They form a focus group that meets several times a year.

  • They produce Easy Read documentation as standard.

  • They are a Readership panel for patient information.

  • They test out ideas.

  • They feedback about hospital visits and experiences.

Below are some examples of:

This has been recognised in a wide range of achievements and it is reflected in our award of NHS Foundation Trust status. This is afforded to hospitals that provide the highest standards of care.
