Our trust has a carers' strategy which outlines how we will support, advise and involve carers throughout our services at all times. For a copy of the strategy please click here or contact our customer relations team who will be able to send you a copy.
Our Trust actively seeks to engage families and carers in the services that we provide. We recognise the vital part you play in the recovery of the person you support. In addition, there are a number of resources and support networks offered by the trust and by partner organisations which is why the Trust also works in partnership with local authorities, carers and third sector organisations to ensure our carers have access to broader support offered external to the Trust.
Our Trust also has a real commitment to families and carers and our aim is to listen and improve our services based on the feedback we receive from our service users and families. If you would like to discuss any concerns you may have or would like to give us some feedback on your experience of our services please contact our Customer Relations PALS service. They can be contacted on 0800 9530045 (Monday-Friday 8am to 6pm) or by email: bsmhft.customerrelations@nhs.net
