The Patient Panel

Our patient panel aims to amplify the voices and experiences of our patients, in order to help shape the way in which Barnsley Hospital delivers healthcare.

Patient Stories

Patient stories are presented to the Trust Board, either by you as patients or by staff involved in your care.

Patient Led Assessments of the Care Environment (PLACE)

PLACE assessments apply to all hospitals delivering NHS-funded care. PLACE assessments put patient views at the centre of the assessment process.
