The Enhanced Patient Care Observation (EPCO) Working Group within the South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust are inviting Service User and Carer/family representatives who have an experience of requiring ongoing one to one observation to keep you or your family member safe during an inpatient stay in a hospital or long-term care setting to become members of the group.
We welcome new members who are:
- A Service User who has experience of ongoing one to one observation
- A Carer/family member of a service user who has experience of ongoing one to one observation
- Both Service User and their Carer/family member together
As a member of the group you will be an equal voice and partner and in discussion about the observation tool being used, and how to support early recognition and care of a patient who has become distressed in a hospital or long-term care environment.
Meetings are once a month for up to 90 minutes and are either online (MS Teams) or in-person at the Ulster Hospital in Dundonald.
If you would like to get involved or for more information please send your name and contact details to:
Heidi.Spence@setrust.hscni.net or telephone 07715807202
