SOUTHERN Health NHS Foundation Trust is undertaking a review into its clinical services and needs your help to ensure it can better meet the needs of the communities it serves.

Southern Health has faced a lot of criticism in the last year and this is part of the work to respond and improve services.

The review is into the foundations clinical services, and the public are invited to make their views, experiences and ideas known.

A foundation spokesman said: “This feedback will be vital in helping us shape the way our services look so we are keen to hear as many viewpoints and experiences as possible.

“The purpose is to understand how our services should be configured to best meet the needs of local communities in the future.

“We are working with people who use our services, their families and our staff to ensure that a range of views and ideas are heard.

“We will use what we learn to make a plan for the future, called a Clinical Services Strategy. This will be published in February 2017 and we will continue to ask for feedback throughout the process. “
