Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust (AWP) recently launched its 5 year Trust Strategy.
One of our key objectives within that strategy is to Work in Partnership. This includes with our staff, patients, carers, statutory partners, and with those representing the wider communities we serve.
To support this, we are launching a new mental health, learning disability and autism forum where members will come together to give their voice, perspective and constructive challenge to work we’re doing and the plans we have here at AWP.
It will be chaired by our Trust Chair, supported by our Chief Executive, and will meet at least four times a year. It will ensure our developments and plans are supported and shaped by a wide variety of insights which will input to the Trust’s Strategy, Strategic Objectives and Annual Operating Plan.
Dominic Hardisty, AWP Chief Executive, said: “This forum will have the ability to genuinely influence, shape and change how we do things, offering unique perspectives and constructive challenge along the way. We are focussed on continually improving the services we’re providing and want the views and experiences of local people and partners to be a key part of that journey.”
For a more detailed conversation or to express an interest in being part of the forum, contact Gary Morgan, Associate Director of Communications and Engagement at AWP – gary
