Our Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS)

We want to know what you think about our services, what we do well, and what we could do better.

Our Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) is a free, informal service you can contact to share your suggestions or concerns to help us improve.

We can:

  • Offer you, your families and carers help, advice, and information
  • Provide you with information about our services, and help with any health-related queries
  • Show you how you can get more involved in your own healthcare
  • Help resolve problems and concerns when you're using our services
  • Provide information on the NHS complaints procedure and how to get independent advocacy support if you're making a formal complaint
