Consumer & carer involvement
The RMH ensures the experiences of consumers and their carers effectively drive improvements in safety and quality.
One of the ways we achieve this is through consumer and carer representation on committees and working groups. The purpose of this engagement is to:
- Ensure we are responsive to patient and consumer needs and priorities
- Build a collaborative approach to all our service designs and improvements
- Promote transparency in discussions regarding safety and quality
- Invite an alternative, but equally important perspective in discussions and decision making
