Involvement and Experts by Experience

There are a variety of ways that service users and carers can become involved in shaping and helping improve services. An essential part of the Trust’s approach to involvement includes listening to service user and carer experiences and opinions about how things can be improved and good practice further developed. 

Become an Expert by Experience (EbE)

EbEs are people with experience of using services as either a service user or a carer who are interested in undertaking activities with the Trust. This is an important part of helping us to ensure that we develop the organisation in relation to the needs of service users and carers.

Our involvement opportunities are designed to provide an opportunity for people with a lived experience to participate in service development while gaining skills or experience as they move forward on their recovery journey.

If you would like to express your interest in being involved as an EbE, please email hpft.involvement@nhs.net or call 01707 253801.
