Hi I'm Alison Douglas the Vice Chair of the Warrington People's Panel
I have a wealth of experience, including 11 years as a Principal Manager at Adult Services Warrington Borough Council Social Care. I have experience of co-working with Acute and Primary Health Care, Quality Monitoring in Nursing Homes, and i was also the chair of Adult Safeguarding Meeting for Warrington Borough Council, and have over 20 years experience working is Social Care which has enabled me to gain the experience and knowledge of working with staff and clients who have faced multiple inequalities.
I Look forward to being the voice of the people and making a difference to the Health & Social care services in Warrington.
My name is Clare Quirk, I am 35 years old and married to Wez. We have 4 children between us one of which has complex needs.
Originally from the Wirral I moved to Warrington 8 years ago. I've had a successful career within the Home Office as a Higher executive officer, team leader and trainer for 9 years prior to having my eldest son.
I have worked briefly within the NHS as an admin Co ordinator and more recently a medical secretary
I applied for the panel as I feel having 'real' people who can share their own personal experience is vital for gaining a better understanding of what's happening in Warrington.
Having had considerable social care intervention when I gained parental responsibility for my stepdaughter I've experienced the journey from start to finish.
I have an interest in special educational needs, the issues surrounding this within Warrington, how the process impacts both child and parent and a keen interest in the maternity, pre, and postnatal care in Warrington.
Hi I’m Paul Mendeika. I was excited and extremely proud to be appointed Chair of Warrington People's Panel .
I am very passionate about ensuring that public and communities voices are heard in planning, delivering and engaging with services. Particularly in health and social care, services must be responsive, accessible and centred on the person and patients involved.
Everyone has the right to be involved In deciding what their care and support should be, including their families and carers.
I have previously worked in local government, in Social Services, in Citizens Advice Services and have represented public views on a range of local and national health organisations, including in Warrington - Bridgewater Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and Healthwatch.
