Patient Experience

Our vision at Alder Hey is to create a healthier future for children and young people and one way we do this is through Patient Experience and engagement.

This means taking every opportunity to hear from our children and young people, their siblings, parents, carers and their relatives. We do this with a view to encourage their active participation in shaping the way, we, at Alder Hey improve our services and plans for the future. Our purpose is to involve children, young people and families in decisions about their own care. We seek feedback about their experiences. We include volunteers for extra support and offer a first-class customer service at front of house. Patient Experience are responsible for creating magical seasonal events, involving play, music and arts. We offer support through our chaplaincy and aim to resolve any issues and offer advice through our PALS service.
