Service User Alliance

We have a number of service-user groups at Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust. Some are organised by staff for the people who use their services, and others run more independently and meet at other localities across the two Boroughs.

Getting involved in one of the service-user groups and helping other people as well as yourself can be very rewarding. The groups all run very differently, some focus on a sort of self-help and how to get a better understanding of mental health issues, while others are more actively involved in helping the Trust improve services by joining in with service-development workshops, mini –inspections, consultation events and audits.

To find out how and where your local service-user group meets, speak to your care coordinator or the person you regularly see for appointment’s and they will give you the details. On this page is the contact details for some of the more independently run or funded groups.

All service-users groups have a representative who comes to the Service-User Alliance, acting as the ‘voice ‘ for the group, and they also take back information from the Alliance to share with the group.

If you are interested in joining a service-user group, please either speak to your care coordinator or contact one of the group organisers directly.
