How local services involve users

• services reflect the reality for people with a terminal illness

• service developments focus on the needs and priorities of patients, families and carers
• there is a shared responsibility and partnership
• users are better informed of services.

How users benefit

From a user perspective, involvement and support can lead to a sense of self-worth and value, greater satisfaction and better and more appropriate care. It also offers them an opportunity to give something back and share their experience with others.
