challenges
15
Future Challenges

    voices to be heard?
  • We need to ensure that we are representative of

    far so that people will continue to be engaged in
    the user involvement agenda

16
Future Challenges

    contributions help
  • Continued funding for our activities and our
    facilitator to help coordinate these activities.

17
Future Challenges
  • Need to be accessible to and in communication
    with as many of the service users, their families
    and carers, and health professionals as possible
  • Build long term links with all support groups
  • Show evidence that by being involved we can and
    we do make a difference!
  • We need to celebrate our successes
  • But we need clear direction and focus for our
    activities

    Partnership Panels activities over the next
