100,000 people on the island of Ireland require either an electric hoist or changing bench in order to go to the toilet. Currently, there are only a small number of such public facilities around the country. Individuals and their families are forced to make the choice between being isolated at home, or risk injury, infection and the indignity of being changed on a public toilet floor in order to get out of the house. Mobiloo is a not for profit organisation providing fully accessible mobile toilet facilities. Each of our vehicles for change is equipped with adult sized changing benches, electric hoists and enough space to allow up to two family members/carers to provide assistance if needed. Our mission is to enable disabled people and their loved ones to attend any event or activity - events from which they are often excluded due to lack of adequate facilities.Mobiloo is recommended by the Changing Places Consortium as a mobile solution, enabling those with even the most complex care needs the chance to get out of the house and enjoy the same activities as anyone else. Mobiloo provides a complete service; our facilities are attended when in operation to ensure they are kept clean, the equipment is charged and operational and to ensure proper use of the specialist equipment on board. Each of our units is self-contained so for shorter events, no power or water is needed.

I have completed a 5 enjoyable year tenure and have now stepped aside as a director to allow new blood to join the board. I will continue to support the organisation in the background and encourage the organisation to continue their work in holding member states to account on the rights of disabled people.

We will shortly be setting up a service user and carer reference group. We will be asking Personal Public Involvement Groups, Integrated Care Partnerships, the Patient Client Council and the Royal College of GPs Patients in Practice group to nominate 12 service user and carer representatives to take part in this group. Service users and carers who join the reference group will have an opportunity to:  Bring a service user or carer perspective to this work  Input into the proposals for the new model for primary care services  Share lived experiences to help improve the provision of primary care  Support wider engagement with service user and carers  Contribute to active learning process as the new model is rolled out. We will also be seeking to meet with some of the key community projects identified by participants at the engagement workshop. We will be gathering information from GPs about the mix of work which they undertake in general practice. This will enable us to plan for a multi-disciplinary team which responds to the actual needs of service users in Northern Ireland. • Proposed tools:• Working group participation• Service user and carer reference group participation• Sub group participationCo-designing• Proposed tools:• Events/ workshops• Social media fora• Surveys• Discussions with key networks• Meetings• Participation via existing fora eg: carers' fora Engaging• Proposed tools• Website information• Communiques from the working groupInforming 3 We will also be providing regular updates on the Department of Health website about the work as it progresses. We anticipate that small groups will be formed later in the year to look at particular aspects of the model. We would like to keep you informed about the work of the group and will let you know about any upcoming opportunities to be involved in its work.

Royal College of General Practitioners Patients in Practice Group (PIP) was launched in January 2008, to help shape and improve the quality of patient care throughout Northern Ireland.The PIP Group is made up of both GP and Lay members, meeting regularly to discuss patient related issues in Primary Care and develop opportunities to encourage patient involvement at all levels of Health Care. Representatives from the group also provide a patient perspective to RCGP UK and other committees and focus groups. The group also provides a patient perspective in consultations with government and leads on activities that encourage GPs to work in partnership with patients and public.
