Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust (LPT) believes that patients and carers can be influential partners in driving, delivering, and supporting change and improving services. We want to collaborate with patients, their carers, and families as equal partners to enable us to deliver high quality healthcare services.
The Lived Experience Partner role is a key part of our Lived Experience Leadership Framework. Our Lived Experience Partners will work alongside clinical and non-clinical staff, patients, and carers, drawing upon personal experience and expertise to provide insight into the design, improvement and delivery of the services provided by the Trust.
We have now successfully recruited 17 Partners into our first cohort. These Partners will be working in a range of roles across the Trust and we will be sharing how this work is progressing throughout the year.
