What is a Transforming Care Navigator?
The aim of the Navigator support is to help you and your family understand the available support from health, education and social care and work together with you to ensure your views are heard, understood and considered.
Navigators will not replace any existing professionals, or at any point take on those professionals’ roles. Navigators are an additional resource to work directly with you and your family, with an emphasis on getting to know you and your wishes, feelings and needs.
We welcome referrals from individuals, families or professionals.
If you would like to talk about a referral, please email [email protected]
