The Public and Patient Advisory Group
The Kent, Medway and Sussex Public and Patient Advisory Group was launched in July 2024 and is made up of a diverse group of people with lived experience of physical and mental health conditions. It includes members who are less digitally able, people from ethnically diverse communities, and members of the Trans, Non-Binary and Intersex community.
As a group, it embeds insight from people and communities to drive the programme in Kent, Medway and Sussex, with an emphasis on collaboration and co-production.
