The Citizens’ Senate continues to extend the patient & carer voice through involvement with organisations and programmes. We are a source of informed patient involvement and provide regional and national healthcare structures with insight, information and views about services from the perspective of the service user. We represent the patient voice in various transformation programmes and are aligned with the work of the EAHSN.
