Authorised Representative
Authorised Representatives are specially trained volunteers who carry out visits to NHS and social care services to see how they are delivered and gather feedback from people using those services.
Community Information Volunteer

Mystery Shopper
Sometimes we need help to find out what it’s really like for someone like you, to get the health and/or care information you need. Mystery shopper volunteers act as a real patient or client would. This would involve using the phone, internet or email, and in some cases, visiting agreed locations across East Sussex.
