As patient engagement is at the heart of everything we do, in 2019 we established our Patient and Public Panel.

Our panel members influence how we plan and deliver our services to provide the highest quality of care. Information about the varying levels of involvement and how to apply to become a panel member can be found at nwas.nhs.uk/panel
