Seeking patients’ views on delays to planned care caused by the pandemic.
A report into the findings of the West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership’s Planned Care Citizens’ Panel was published on 24 June, exactly one year after the panel met for the first time. The feedback from all the panel meetings has been summarised in the report Seeking patients’ views on delays to planned care caused by the pandemic. It covers the main themes discussed at the panel meetings and includes the panel’s key recommendations. The report is a candid look at some of the discussions, often very upsetting, with the panel over the 12-week period and is a stark reminder of how extremely difficult things were one year ago. Because the picture is very different today, the report also highlights the significant progress being made in tackling the backlog as capacity for planned care services in West Yorkshire is increased week after week.
West Yorkshire Healthier Together website launched on Monday 27 June

Care experience people unite to make a change.
They would like to hear from parents aged 17-30 living in England who have had experience of the social care system, whether they have lived in kinship care, foster care, residential care, etc. and had experience of having a child before the age of 25 (so they were supported by social care service). We particularly want to ensure that we include care experienced parents who are less included in research, including fathers, black and brown communities, and care leavers with disability. We will be gifting a £25 voucher for their time.
This is a co-designed research project with 5 peer researchers, all with lived experience of being a care experienced parent. They have worked extremely hard to design the research and we now have ethical approval!! The researchers have put together a short video to explain the project further, please take a look and post to any forums you feel are relevant: Care Experienced Parents Unite to Make a Change (vimeo.com)
If you know of any care experienced parents who are interested email careexperiencedparents@barnardos.org.uk For more details contact: Harriet Williams harrietwilliams2011@hotmail.co.uk;
