Get Involved

We are committed to involving service users, patients and family members and want to keep virtually involving you during these exceptional times. We want to involve you in decisions about your care and hear about your lived experience of using our services. We aim to provide services that meet the needs and expectations of our patients and to also learn from them, this will help us design and deliver our services and enable us to:

• improve existing services
• make decisions about new ones

As part of our Step up to Great strategy our Patient Experience and Involvement priorities we co-designed with our patients and carers.  our three key aims are:

• we will increase the number of people who are positively participating in their care and service improvement
• we will make it easy and straight forward for people to share their experiences
• we will improve the experience of the people who use or who are impacted by our services”

There are lots of ways that you can get involved with us at LPT. You can find out more using the tabs on this page.
