Patients and Users’ Public Engagement Panel

​​​About the Panel

The Health and Care Jersey (HCJ) Patients and Users’ Public Engagement Panel is a voluntary group. It's made of members of the public who work with HCJ to help improve services and experiences.

The Panel aims to inform:

• ways in which patients’ experiences can be improved and enhanced
• services HCJ provides and propose any changes that can be made
• the future priorities of the department
• questions for wider and regular patient surveys
  
• overall patient engagement and communication

The Panel aims to meet at least 4 times a year. This could be more depending on need.
