How does Patientfriends operate?
Patientfriends is made up of the general public who have an interest in improving health care and supporting those being served by the NHS. It has meetings and events to get peoples feedback and ideas about improving patient care. As well as supporting and encouraging each other with a particular health situation.
Patientfriends is interested in listening to the experiences that people have had with their doctor through the NHS. The aim of Patientfriends is to find out what are the issues that concern people. As well as the things that people have liked about the way they were treated.
Patientfriends will endeavour to find out who is responsible for particular areas of patient care, and through dialogue, local community and local media raise the profile of important issues that affect us all in relation to patient care. Also to help get people involved with their local health service.
Patientfriends shall publicise itself by setting up stalls handing out leaflets and asking people what concerns them about their health care and what they would like to see improved. Also to become linked to other similar patient care organisations and other support groups for specific health conditions.
