Staff working at local health trust, Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust (RDaSH), have teamed up with the People Focused Group (PFG), Doncaster Mind, Well Doncaster and organisations across the city to ask what Doncaster people want from their mental health services.

The feedback is being used to shape how services are enhanced and delivered in the future.

Tracy Ord, Transformation Clinical Lead at RDaSH, said: “We are talking to our patients, their families, friends, carers, staff, and the general public.

"They are the best people to tell us how we can enhance the services we offer or how we can change them to better deliver to their needs.

"We want to create the change to benefit everyone who uses mental health services.”
