VONNE - Improving carers experiences of hospital discharge
VONNE want to understand carers experiences in our local area through obtaining feedback from carers themselves, carers support organisations and local Healthwatch teams. The research team will also speak to a sample of NHS acute hospital Trusts and unpaid carers from across the region, asking them what they think the issues are, and what actions are required to improve this experience for carers. The outcome of the work will be a good practice guide that can be used in every hospital across our region, which sets out a carer led, evidence-based approach to the actions that should be taken to improve the experience for our unpaid carers.
If you are able to help cascade this appeal to recruit unpaid carers, or your organisation supports unpaid carers and you are willing to participate, please contact sarah.marrison@vonne.org.uk to find out more.
VONNE (Voluntary Organisations North East) is the regional support body for the North East Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector, representing more than 1,300 member charities, voluntary organisations, community groups, networks and social enterprises from across the region.
