The Nottingham City Family of Forums*

Our two main consultation forums are the Recovery Forum, which started in 2004 and the Dual Diagnosis Forum, which started in 2007. Both offer an opportunity for current and former drug users, whether they are in treatment or not to have their say in the strategic decision making processes of the commissioning bodies locally. Their aim is to improve local service provision and to be a two way channel for information. Since 2012 an independent user led forum has been set up for patients in Shared Care, called SCUF.
