The Caring Together Consumer Network is a formal group of current or former patients and carers who are interested in learning about and improving the health services provided at Caboolture Hospital. The group meets monthly and can be actively involved in steering committees, working groups and other activities around the hospital. Consumer representatives play an active role in improving health services by sharing ideas, talking about issues and helping to guide the hospital towards being more patient and family centred. Consumer representatives help us to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>design new areas of the hospital<\/li>\n<li>improve how care is provided to patients and carers<\/li>\n<li>educate our team members on how best to communicate with patients and carers<\/li>\n<li>develop or review policies and procedures<\/li>\n<li>find the best ways to get regular feedback from patients and carers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-builder-row-inner fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column_inner fusion-builder-nested-column-0 fusion_builder_column_inner_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-first\" style=\"--awb-padding-top:20px;--awb-padding-bottom:20px;--awb-bg-color:#f1f1f1;--awb-bg-color-hover:#f1f1f1;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-top:20px;width:50%;width:calc(50% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.5 ) );margin-right: 4%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-image-element fusion-image-align-center in-legacy-container\" style=\"text-align:center;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><div class=\"imageframe-align-center\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-1 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" alt=\"Consumer Network Christmas Party 2016\" title=\"Consumer Network Christmas Party 2016\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.metronorth.health.qld.gov.au\/caboolture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/07\/Consumer-Network-Christmas-Party-cab.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-949\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.metronorth.health.qld.gov.au\/caboolture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/07\/Consumer-Network-Christmas-Party-cab-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/dev.metronorth.health.qld.gov.au\/caboolture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/07\/Consumer-Network-Christmas-Party-cab.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p style=\"text-align: center\">Consumer Network Christmas Party 2016<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column_inner fusion-builder-nested-column-1 fusion_builder_column_inner_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-padding-top:20px;--awb-padding-bottom:20px;--awb-bg-color:#f1f1f1;--awb-bg-color-hover:#f1f1f1;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-top:20px;width:50%;width:calc(50% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.5 ) );\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-image-element fusion-image-align-center in-legacy-container\" style=\"text-align:center;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><div class=\"imageframe-align-center\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-2 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" alt=\"Consumer Lynne doing pt surveys\" title=\"Consumer Lynne doing pt surveys\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.metronorth.health.qld.gov.au\/caboolture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/07\/Consumer-Lynne-doing-pt-surveys.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-944\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.metronorth.health.qld.gov.au\/caboolture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/07\/Consumer-Lynne-doing-pt-surveys-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/dev.metronorth.health.qld.gov.au\/caboolture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/07\/Consumer-Lynne-doing-pt-surveys.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p style=\"text-align: center\">Consumer Lynne doing patient surveys<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><h2>Consumer training<\/h2>\n<p>Consumer representatives come from a range of backgrounds, and have very different experiences to share.
