Kieran Stigant, chair of Coastal CCG, said: “We are committed to putting the patient at the heart of all we do and I believe it is essential that we have public input to the decisions we make. It is has always been important to hear the perspective of the patient and the public but with the increasing need to change the way we deliver services this is more important than ever. Having representation at every level matters and I would encourage anyone with an interest in how we run the NHS to consider applying for these roles.”

All the positions are voluntary.

Successful applicants will have an active interest in health related matters and the necessary skills and experience to read and understand detailed information.
