advise and support patients, their families, and their carers
listen to patients' concerns, queries and suggestions
help sort out problems quickly on your behalf
inform patients, their families and their carers about the Trust's Complaints Procedure
assist you if you have any concerns about your rights as a patient and how the OUH is fulfilling its part of the NHS Constitution with regard to your own care.
