People First are supporting the Insights Network, which is a new project, to hear your views.
In our first piece of work, we want to hear from autistic people, people with learning disabilities, their carers and their families living in Cumberland on their views and experiences of being discharged from hospital, in the last 12 months.
Why should you share your experiences with us?
The NHS want to make services better - making care and treatment when people are ready to be discharged the best it can be. They want to help people live better, healthier and happier lives and stay out of hospital for longer.
Your experience matters, it helps services to make changes to improve the care people receive when they are discharged from hospital.
What we will do with the information you provide?
No one will be identifiable from the information shared. All information will be gathered into a report and generalised to reflect people’s experiences in the area. This will be shared with NHS representatives.
We will share the findings with people and families at an Insights Event later in the year and through the People First website.
