Our Management Committee, Co-opted members and volunteers cover a big range ofcollective advocacy work in the hospital. Our main focus is the hospital, but some meetings and work outside the hospital might affect what happens in the hospital, so we attend them. To support and feed into wider issues, we work with the Collective Advocacy Promotions Service (CAPS) who deal with collective advocacy in the community. We work with Voices Of Experience (VOX) who deal with national issues. We also currently have a co-opted member who sits on the VOX committee and acts as a Patients' Council link worker with VOX. To capture the range of work we cover we have produced a work map. The map lists many of the working groups and projects we are involved in. It also captures other information such as how many volunteer hours are used for each piece of work.
