We welcome and value the views of our patients, their families and carers, visitors and our local communities. We want you to help us improve our services and ensure that we are focusing on the things that matter most to you.
You can see the current opportunities to get involved with the Trust below – along with links to the sign-up forms to express your interest.
If you can’t see any specific projects to get involved with at the minute but would like to register you interest in particular areas or topics that would appeal to you, please let us know here on our online form. Or you can email us directly at ENHTmembership.enh-tr@nhs.net. We will then make a note of your interest and keep you in mind for any upcoming projects requiring patient or public involvement.
Current Opportunities
AGM 2024 – What would you like to see?
The 2024 AGM will be taking place in September and we want your help in deciding what topics to discuss.
This year’s AGM week will include a number of webinars on various topics that will cover many departments within the Trust.
We have previously covered areas such as cancer services, the Trust’s green plan and digital updates, such as the Patient Hub. Other possible topics include our partnership with the University or long-term illnesses like Diabetes and Dementia.

Patients and carers – please share your stories with us
As a trust we learn most from the people who use our services and the people who work here. We are looking for patients, carers or family members who have used any of our services to tell us your stories.
We use these stories to learn from what went well so we can do more of those things and in some cases we learn from when things didn’t go well or according to plan. These stories can be told in different ways, face-to-face, on short video clips or they can be written down. We listen to what matters most and then make improvements based on what we hear.
If you have a story to tell we would like to hear from you. You can agree to the format we use to record your story and what we can do with this once you have told it.
