As part of the continuing work to improve the experience that patients and their families and carers have of a hospital journey Fife Carers Centre and Fife Health & Social Care Partnership want to hear from Carers of adults and older people who have some spent time in hospital since March 2019.  We will be hosting a couple of listening sessions where carers will be invited to share their perspective on how things went.  The sessions will take place in Dunfermline and Glenrothes.  If you would like to attend, you can book a place using the electronic link on the flyer below or by clicking here https://forms.office.com/r/x2y0YuBFxC or if you can't come along but would still like to have your say there will be an online opportunity which you can get access to by emailing PublicEngagement@fife.gov.uk
