At NUHS, we believe that better care is built in partnership with patients, caregivers, healthcare staff and the community.
The Patient Advocacy & Support Office (PASO) supports patients and caregivers throughout their care journey while creating opportunities for their experiences and perspectives to shape healthcare improvement.
Through advocacy, care partnerships, support programmes, patient and family partner initiatives, support groups and community collaborations, PASO works with patients, carers, staff and partners to advance person-centred care across NUHS.
