Health and Justice - Lived Experience Network – Independent Patient and Public Voice (PPV) members required for the National Health & Justice team, NHS England

 

We are looking to recruit individuals who have range of lived experience of the Criminal Justice System, for an exciting initiative.

We want to ensure that our independent network of specialist advisors, who inform the Health & Justice national team, on the different aspects of healthcare that make up our wide portfolio of services, is both diverse and inclusive.

The lived experience voice is key to everything we do, and we know that having a formal network of people dedicated to this collectively and individually will make a significant difference in enabling us to achieve our goals and improve services.
