Is there a place for #PeerSupport within the NHS? I see some trusts with Lived Experience roles at band 7/8, some trusts who are considering scrapping Peer Support and then others who have never even got to the point of employing PS staff. Are peer support roles really valued? 🤔

#OurStars @NWBoroughsNHS well done and 100% deserved Lesley Pattison.

Go peer support worker @NWBoroughsNHS
