What stops you from getting involved patient participation?

Throughout July, we’re throwing the spotlight on patient participation: what is it, what are the benefits, and how to get involved.

Question of the week:

Tell us: what's the main thing that prevents you from getting involved in patient participation opportunities? 

How could patient participation be opened up to more people?  

We know that the LGBTQ+ community in Milton Keynes aren't often involved in public and patient participation opportunities, so we’re delving into this in particular to find out:

  • What are the barriers to getting involved in public participation opportunities?
  • How could public participation opportunities be more appealing to LGBTQ+ people?
  • If you identify as LGBTQ+, what are the most important issues for you when it comes to patient participation?
  • Is public participation inclusive enough?

We're holding an online focus group on 29th July to explore the topic in more detail. 

If you identify as LGBTQ+, we’d love to see you there.
