What Will Happen in the Session?
We want to give children the opportunity to share their own views directly with us, so we can make sure that their feedback is accurately captured and shared with services. This allows the NHS to make improvements to paediatric care based on the feedback of the children and young people who use the service.
Activities in the session will explore experiences of paediatric care and how they could be improved. The session will be facilitated by Culture Shift and will include activities for both children and parents/guardians.
Feedback from our focus groups will be shared with NHS Sussex to improve care for children and young people. All information will be anonymised before being presented (neither you nor your child will be identifiable), and taking part in this focus group will not impact any current or future care.
