New Peer Development Group

As spring approaches, we are hopefully and safely moving out of the COVID restrictions of the past 2 years. At P2C, we are looking at ways in which we can continue to support you with your Personal Health Budgets in 2022/3!

Something we have tried before with some success and would like to ‘re-fresh!’ is the offer of our PHB peer support groups.

When we offered these before, we did these face to face, held in North Somerset and Bristol in hired venues. COVID has taught us that we can achieve the same by embracing our technology and hopefully making this more accessible to everyone and saving your time and money in travel!

We advertised and held our first peer support group this year in January with one of our Nurse Assessors and two of our Brokerage and Support Officers and were kindly joined by one of our PHB holders.Our peer support group is to offer just that! Support we can give to you with any questions on what’s  challenging you right now, what solutions may be available to help, good ideas from your peers on what they have found to work well. We also think there may be opportunity to bring in guest speakers, maybe on employment advice, recruitment difficulties, health and well-being or perhaps to meet other PHB holders and share experience?

We don’t want to lead the group but we understand starting something like this takes time to build and grow and we want to be there to start you off!

What have we done so far? We’ve had our first meeting, we’ve written to you all to invite you to come and join us and we’ve drafted some short terms of reference for us to look at next time, so please do join us, bring your cup of coffee and a biscuit and we can see you there!

Our next meeting is on TUESDAY 5TH APRIL 2022 @ 11AM *

Held via zoom -

Give us a ring if you like on 0800 111 4167 and we’ll talk you through! We’d really love to see you!
