Carer engagement

We have many ways for you to get involved.

Carers consultation

Expand

Organisations such as the County Council or NHS  ask for the feedback from Carers or the people they care for as part of a consultation. We will post details here as they are announced.

If you are interested in such consultations, then Healthwatch are a useful organisation.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Northamptonshire Carers Partnership are seeking Carers Perspective to inform and co-produce a county-wide ‘Northamptonshire All Ages Carers Support Strategy 2022-2025’.

If you are an unpaid family carer, of any age, caring for someone who relies on your support - Your Own Needs and Wants are of Utmost Importance to Us

Please tell us about what you see as the priorities for you; what support you need; how best you can access that support and anything else you feel should be provided to continue in your caring role.

This survey closes on Friday, 29th April 2022 and we will be producing the forward plans over the Summer to consult again on the Draft Strategy in the Autumn, before finalising.

Parent Carers forum

Expand

Northants Parent Forum Group (NPFG)

The NPFG enables parents looking after children with additional needs to get involved in service planning and decision making so that services meet the needs of families and resources are not wasted on services which parents and families do not take up.

Meetings are arranged in Northamptonshire or parent support groups visited to discuss issues around service provision and implementation.

Please contact them directly for further details.

Patients opinion

Patient Opinion
