Patient Experience Volunteer

• NHS - Healthcare Improvement Scotland (Midlothian)

• VO97724

Healthcare Improvement Scotland is part of the NHS in Scotland. The People’s Experience Volunteer role is new. It is one way that we hope to better hear people’s views in our work and help us put people’s different experiences of health services at the centre of the work we do by:

· Sharing your views on some of our ideas and programmes of what is important to people in your area

· Helping us find out how people read and understand our reports, websites or information about health and care

· You can help us shape and test our questions, test understanding of the topic and discover what is most important to people.

We are looking for volunteers from across the Lothian with a range of different experiences and identities; you don’t need any healthcare related experience. Should you wish to express an interest or want further information get in touch.

Experience required

No healthcare experience, just willing to give feedback in a way that is suitable to them and we will support that.
