Parents and family engagement lead
"I’m Marie and I’m the parents and family engagement lead for Kent, Surrey and Sussex Neonatal Operational Delivery Network.
My role involves gathering parent and family voices and making sure they are heard at network level. I work closely with the Care Co-ordinator Team. I support parents and families to be part of working groups and steering groups within the network and to be seen as equal partners and experts with lived experience within these groups to make sure quality improvement (QI) projects are co-produced with families.
I am currently chair of our Parent Advisory Group.
Parent Advisory Group (PAG)
Kent, Surrey and Sussex Neonatal ODN Parent Advisory Group is made up of families who have had a neonatal journey with the network.
Parents attend regular meetings and are able to raise issues they feel need to be explored, challenged or celebrated. Members vary in the time and capacity they can give to the group but any and all input is welcomed. Our supportive group have played a key role in the development of on-going projects within the network.
Nothing about us, without us!
