Next meeting
Date: Saturday 17th May 2025
Time: 10:30 to 13:00 with 30 minutes break
Topic: Developing Staff Training Materials Using Patient Stories
Location: Microsoft Teams
Outcome from previous session: 30th April 2025- "Communication. Let's break it down."
In our second Patient Community Voice meeting, we explored the theme of communication. Through rich discussion, we identified key communication issues that affect patient trust, wellbeing, and care outcomes.
We have now agreed to move forward with co-creating educational content for staff, based on lived experiences, to support more empathetic, effective communication.

East of England neurosurgery network
The East of England Neurosurgery Network (EoE NN) is hosted by Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (CUH) and was launched in October 2023.
The triple aim of the EoE NN is to improve quality, reduce inequalities, and to improve value of neurosurgical management across the eastern region.
Prior to formalisation of our structure and governance, we operate under the interim motto of “Regional: Collaboration, Support, Mutual aid”. The core EoE NN team includes:
- Naomi (EoE NN Manager)
- Ripa (Referral Case Management Coordinator)
- Kirsty (EoE NN Specialist Nurse)
