PALS - Patient Advice and Liaison Service

Customer care

Using mental health services, as a patient, relative or carer - sometimes you may need to turn to someone for on-the-spot advice, support or information. The Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) provides confidential advice and support, helping you sort out any concerns you may have about the care we provide. We can guide you through the different services available from the NHS, social care and the voluntary sector. PALS focuses on improving the service to NHS patients.

The service aims to:

PALS
  • Advise and support patients, families and carers,
  • provide information on NHS services and social care,
  • listen to your concerns, suggestions or queries,
  • help sort out problems quickly on your behalf, and
  • put you in touch with other sources of help.

Our PALS link workers can help you in our local teams, units and wards.

We hold PALS surgeries to give you the chance to meet us, contact us for details of times and places. We arrange regular satisfaction surveys and mystery shopping exercises across the trust.
