Bedfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group is offering a unique opportunity for members of the public to get involved in shaping local health services.

The body is looking for new members to join its Patient and Public Engagement Committee which ensures that patients and the public have been involved in decisions that are made about local NHS services.

The patient and public representatives will have the opportunity to scrutinise communications and engagement plans and offer opinions and recommendations.

Representatives just need to have an interest in the NHS and and experience in using its services.

The closing date for applications is November 21 2018 at 1pm, with interviews on December 5. See www.bedfordshireccg.nhs.uk/page/?id=5519.
