Consultative Groups

Consultative Groups

Worcestershire Association of Carers supports carers to take an active role in decision making. To help us achieve this we are a member of a number of consultation groups which allow members of the NHS, County Council and different charities to discuss with carers about important decisions that affect carers across the county. If you are a carer and would like to be involved with these meetings please contact us on 01905 751340. Please see below for more information:

There are six Consultative Groups available to attend ranging from Mental Health to Physical Disabilities. Each Consultative Group is also broken down into a number of sub groups. Take a look below to see a diagram showing of all the different Consultative Groups and Sub Groups:
