WE NEED YOU…
Would you like to help shape maternity and paediatric services in the Borders?

NHS Borders is looking for volunteers to become public representatives in our forthcoming Women & Children’s Service Review.

Ideally we are looking for people who have recently used our maternity or paediatric services. This volunteering role will require you to participate in project team meetings and play an active part in discussions which will take place on Microsoft Teams. We expect the involvement to be a fortnightly meeting lasting approximately one hour and hope to have this review complete by July 2022.

If you are interested or would like more information, please get in touch by email public.involvement@borders.scot.nhs.uk or by phone on 0800 731 4052 and leave your contact details. Please get in touch by Friday 29 April.
