SUITE support, coach and train service users, carers and family members so that they can be meaningfully involved in helping the Trust to get our care right and improve services. SUITE colleagues work co-productively with tutors at the Education and Development department delivering training on many topics to staff working throughout  the Trust.

They  express how it feels to be on the 'other side' of services, as a service user, carer, friend or family member. In this way we can open minds to recognise the different experiences of care and  its  impact on  the service user,  their  friends and family. It also demonstrates stages on the journey to recovery.

To be involved in SUITE you will need to be a member of the Involvement Register.

To find out more you could come along and observe us delivering training that we have co-produced. For more information or to book an observation please contact Angela Mitchell, SUITE Manager at  Angela.Mitchell@slam.nhs.uk or on  07585 780379.
