Patients are the most important people in the health service and are at the centre of what we do.

Patients and carers are the 'experts' in how they feel and what it is like to live with or care for someone with a particular illness or condition.

All staff should communicate effectively in their day to day practice with patients and should support and enable patients/carers to make choices, changes and influence the way their treatment or care is provided.

All staff, managers and Board members should work to promote effective patient, carer and public involvement in all elements of their work.
