Experts by Experience (EbyE) are people with experience of using our services, either as a service user or a carer/advocate. Experts are invited to use their 'lived experience' of services to help shape future developments so that they meet the needs of the people who use them. 

Our Experts by Experience programme is one of the key elements of our ‘Working with People and Communities Strategy 2022-25’. This outlines how we will work together, as an organisation and in our communities, to put the voice of our patients and carers at the forefront of our work to develop services. If you would like a copy of the strategy please email whh.engagement@nhs.net

Working in this way means that we deliver compassionate and responsive care that is aligned to people’s feedback and will mean that our organisational decisions and processes are enriched and enhanced by the inclusion of a 'lived experience' perspective.

We have many different opportunities to involve Experts by Experience in the work of the Trust and people can be involved as little or as much as they choose. 

If you would like to find out more about being involved as an Expert by Experience, please email whh.engagement@nhs.net or contact Esstta Griffiths, Engagement and Involvement Officer, on 01925 662835.

Foundation trust members can also sign up to become Experts by Experience.
