Rachel Johnson joined the Trust at the start of August as PP Lead for Pan-Bedfordshire older people’s community mental health & dementia services.
Rachel, from Leighton Buzzard, has joined the PP team from her previous role as youth support worker at Milton Keynes Council, where she was a member of the participation and engagement team for looked after children.
PP enables service users and carers to have a say in how we run the Trust and is about working together so we can offer a better service to all.
“I am delighted to have joined the Trust and feel incredibly strongly about working with older people, especially due to my own experience of supporting my grandad who had dementia,” she said.
“My role is to ensure older people and their carers are empowered to share their experience of care and to work with ELFT colleagues as equals in shaping new and improved ways of providing care.”
